Hi Sandi, so far no go but I need more time to dig into this but incase you missed my post, here it is: Ok I ran Malwarebytes scan and the app froze on C:\system volume information\tracking.log This is system restore directory, correct? I ran Search Everything app on tracking.log and this was also on my other drives, D: and F: as well. Of course I couldn't delete them but I have System Restore turned off so I turned System restore on and rebooted. I then ran a Malewaresbyte scan and the app froze on: c:\Qoobox\BackEnv\programs.folder.dat What, if anything does this tell you? Maybe I do have a virus as you suggested. Another thing, my system will freeze up if I run a few apps at the same time, most notiably Malwarebytes and Firefox for example. But I control alt del and under performance my CPU is only at 5% or so. I run XP Pro with 4 gig of ram, which XP only see's 3 gig.......thanks!
