Dear Bleeping Computer experts

I am having problems with a PC with Windows XP SP3 OS. In the last month or so the computer started to freeze during browsing (usually after playing waveshock content, e.g. youtube movie) and also during Skype calls (with video). Interestingly, I have the impression it got worse after switching to a wireless Modem.
I am not sure whether it is a virus or something else. I tried in the last 3 days to run a GMER scan (which took around 12 hrs on my computer!) and managed only now, after it froze several times and the computer needed to be brute force rebooted in order to start another scan. In addition, I saw once the following message from Windows:
"Windows- Delayed Write Failed. Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \windows\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere."

Also, in the Event viewer after each freeze there were several Error Messages in the System section:
Error 1: Source: atapi, Event ID 9, The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within the timeout period.
Error 2: Source: Disk, Event ID 7: The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.
Error 3: Source: Service Control Manager, Event ID 7009, Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the lxdnCATSCustConnectService service to connect.
Error 4: Source: W32Time, Event ID 17, Time Provider NtpClient: An error occurred during DNS lookup of the manually configured peer 'time.windows.com,0x1'. NtpClient will try the DNS lookup again in 15 minutes. The error was: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. (0x80072751)

There are also events in the Application section:
Warning 1: (many times): Source: PrefDisk, Event ID: 2001, Unable to read the disk performance information from the system. Disk performance counters must be enabled for at least one physical disk or logical volume in order for these counters to appear. Disk performance counters can be enabled by using the Hardware Device Manager property pages. Status code returned is data DWORD 0.
Error 1: Source: crypt32, Event ID 8, Failed auto update retrieval of third-party root list sequence number from: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt> with error: The server name or address could not be resolved
Error 2: Source: Application Hang, Event ID 1002, Hanging application Acrobat.exe, version 9.4.5.236, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
Error 3: Source: Application Hang, Event ID 1002, Hanging application firefox.exe, version 6.0.1.4259, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
Error 4: Source: Application Error, Event ID 1000, Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, faulting module urlmon.dll, version 6.0.2900.3698, fault address 0x0003df2f.
and so on also for other applications (e.g. Chrome.exe, WINWORD.exe)

I will appreciate your professional opinion regarding this problem.
Enclosed by are the DSS and GMER logs, as requested.

Best regards

Gie

Hello and welcome to Bleeping Computer!

I am HelpBot: an automated program designed to help the Bleeping Computer Staff better assist you! This message contains very important information, so please read through all of it before doing anything.

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

To help Bleeping Computer better assist you please perform the following steps:

***************************************************

In order to continue receiving help at BleepingComputer.com, YOU MUST tell me if you still need help or if your issue has already been resolved on your own or through another resource! To tell me this, please click on the following link and follow the instructions there.

CLICK THIS LINK >>> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/logreply/419468 <<< CLICK THIS LINK

If you no longer need help, then all you needed to do was the previous instructions of telling me so. You can skip the rest of this post. If you do need help please continue with Step 2 below.

***************************************************

If you still need help, I would like you to post a Reply to this topic (click the "Add Reply" button in the lower right hand of this page). In that reply, please include the following information:

• If you have not done so already, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.
  
• A new DDS and GMER log. For your convenience, you will find the instructions for generating these logs repeated at the bottom of this post.
  
  • Please do this even if you have previously posted logs for us.
    
  • If you were unable to produce the logs originally please try once more.
    
  • If you are unable to create a log please provide detailed information about your installed Windows Operating System including the Version, Edition and if it is a 32bit or a 64bit system.
    
  • If you are unsure about any of these characteristics just post what you can and we will guide you.
  
  
• Please tell us if you have your original Windows CD/DVD available.
  
• Upon completing the above steps and posting a reply, another staff member will review your topic and do their best to resolve your issues.

Thank you for your patience, and again sorry for the delay.

***************************************************

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan again:

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links if you no longer have it available. Save it to your desktop.
  • DDS.scr
    
  • DDS.pif
  
  
• Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
  
• A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool. No input is needed, the scan is running.
  
• Notepad will open with the results.
  
• Follow the instructions that pop up for posting the results.
  
• Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

Information on A/V control HERE


We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit Scanner.

Please note that if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows you will not be able to run GMER and you may skip this step.

Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:


Then create another GMER log and post it as an attachment to the reply where you post your new DDS log. Instructions on how to properly create a GMER log can be found here:
