have checked all that stuff...problem started when tried to remove microsoft anti-syware beta version from add+remove,wouldnt let me remove ,so went to microsoft anti-spyware folder and deleted everything but couldnt delete shellextenision.dll,this file is still left and cant remove!! Think this has alot to do with problems iam experiencing???? what do you think?

Hi,dcdd1

Did you disable it & exit it before you went to Add/Remove Programs
also see if right click on Taskbar see if it is running if so kill it then

Download the Killbox.
Unzip it to the desktop

goto Safe Mode & do this here

safe mode: Instructions here

Double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Place the following lines (complete paths) in bold in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each

shellextenision.dll

For these file, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

see if this helps lit us know
