I read the post about protection 247 and decided to install AVG Virus software and all Windows Updates. After doing all of this the computer would almost finish booting up then freeze, a Ctrl, Alt, Del would say that either Motivesb was not responding or Winupt was not responding, either way I couldnt get pas that point. I started in safe mode and uninstalled AVG, this allowed me to run again but I'm sure I still have problems. I have run Hijack This since all of my fooling around and below is the latest log file. Please help someone who don't know much.

Thanks, Brent

It is not AVG at fault, it is likely to be a spyware infection.

Close all browser windows, restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries:

This entry is optional and relates to WildTangent. WildTangent is foistware which means it is bundled with totally unrelated programs. If you fix this entry, it would be a good idea to uninstall it via Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel.

Click Fix Checked

Go to Start> Settings> Control Panel and double click Add/Remove programs. Uninstall the following program:
WindUpdates

Delete the following file:
C:\Program Files\WindUpdates.

If the folder won't delete, delete it on reboot.

Reboot and post a fresh log

First of all, thanks so much for the help and the quick response. I'm still getting an error when I boot up, it looks like this.

ERROR LOADING C:\PROGRA~1\WILDTA~1\APPS\CDA\CDAENG~1.DLL

Other than that all seems good..................but what do I know, below is a new Hijack Log.

Thanks again, Brent

The error message your receiveing is because of the optional fix WildTangent I suggested in the last post. Follow that optional fix and then reboot and post a fresh log.

Ooops, forgot about that one. I removed it and the error message is gone.

Here is my new Log.

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

I tried reinstalling AVG after your help and something is still freezing the system.

Thanks again

Thats log is clean now, do you want me to offer a few more optional fixes to help improve performance and hopefully solve the problem?

Also, which application is still not responding.

If you have some fixes I would love to know.
