I'm fairly sure it's spyware giving me woe. I found it with system mechanic pro (which says there's a parasite in the "remote assistant tool")but everytime I try to remove it my computer goes into crash dump. It randomly freezes and I can't work out any pattern to the locking, for the most part I'm running google chrome which starts to lock, sometimes it's system mechanic that locks. When it locks, if I try task manager my comp thinks for ages and then tells me there's a "failure: security options". Slowly everything locks and it either goes into crash comp or I have to force a shutdown/restart. Every time I start the comp it says I have something wrong with my hardrive and asks if I'd like to scan (that would make sense cos that's where the spyware is). I just did the windows check on why my comp crashes and it told me my RAID controller was missing a driver which I'm downloaded and I just need to restart my computer...
Here's the highjack log,
cheers,
Jen
