Correction. I formatted and re-installed windows at 1am in the morning. So my computer didnt have a chance to wait until 11am-noon today to get back to normal. I needed my Computer THEN. Ive got to have my computer. for many reasons. My computer does more than the average Home PC User.
I am so excited and thrilled that you are as good with computers. Believe me. The more help, the better. I am a Senior Computer Tech/Network Administrator. 3 of my friends are even higher classified Techs than I am. 1 works for Cerner Corporation, 1 works for Time Warner Cable, and the other works for Microsoft....she is my Aunt.
I am glad and more than happy that you would like to help....but please...do NOT treat me as some uneducated person that does NOT know what he is doing. Do NOT insult me or my intelligence. I appreciate your help, but do NOT tolerate Insults to me or my intelligence.
As far as event logs, Security Logs, and so forth...including HiJackThis Logs...I assure you...there was NOTHING in any of those logs that were out of the ordinary. If there was, myself...or my 3 HIGHLY trained Techs would have caught it by now. But if they are stumped....I assure you its not gonna be as easy as you or anyone else thinks it will be.
With that being said, by all means, lets continue analyzing and diagnosing the problem and try finding a solution so that others that MIGHT end up experiencing this problem will have our help. I cannot post the HiJackThis logs or any other logs of any other computers that I work with as that will violate the Privacy Policy of my Company. its unfortunate, But it cant be done. If there is something specific we are looking for, I can check the logs and say whether it is present or not.
