Hi MarvelMarvin,
-----------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to read the information in these threads about Windows XP risks and options: My own Netbook has XP dual booted with Linux Mint 17. The XP side now has its Network connections disabled.


Now to the issue you asked about. Let's have a look.
---------------------------------------------
Download the OTL Scanner
Please download OTL.exe by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
---------------------------------------------
Run a Scan with OTL
  • Right click the OTL icon and choose "Run as administrator".
  • Check the boxes labeled :
    • Scan All Users
    • LOP check
    • Purity check
    • Extra Registry > Use SafeList
  • Make sure all other windows are closed to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Click on the Run Scan button at the top left hand corner. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so.
    When the scan starts, OTL may appear to be frozen while it runs. Please be patient.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL. (desktop)
OTL.txt will be open on your desktop, and Extras.txt will be minimized in your taskbar.
The Extras.txt file will only appear as a running Notepad document the very first time you run OTL.
Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them as a reply. Use separate replies if more convenient.
