It is AntiVir. You can download it here. Although I don't think a virus is the problem, it would have shown up in your hijackthis log.

I downloaded and ran the program in Safe Mode. It did find 2 trojans. However, you are right - they were not the cause of my problems :(

leah, I MIGHT know you're problem. Just boot your computer up competely normal. When it comes on (i mean when the desktop shows up) press ctrl+alt+del, and open the task manager. Then end EVERY task you do not need. I'm not sure what those programs were you were running but do NOT end "Explorer" or "systray" you should only have like 3 or 4 tasks running. Then try opening messenger.

Just wondering......

I still have msn messenger installed.

Someone on another site seemed to be having the same problem as I am. It was suggested that they:

1) Start>Run
2) Type %windir% press enter
3) Open Application and then open Microsoft folder
4) Click on MSN Messenger and delete it.

Does it mean anything that I do not have MSN Messenger in the Microsoft folder - yet it is apparantly installed?

it's possible, and worth a shot, if it doesn't work at least you can say you tried it. have you tried going to c:\program files\MSN Messenger and opening the exe file directly?

It'll be good/interesting to find out what the fix is, it's hard to really troubleshoot over a forum.
