Hello there, We had no problems at all until I think 24th June when the computer just shut down by itself - went to a black screen and shut off. When we started it again the beginning screen (the blue one where you put your Windows password in) had lots of colons and vertical lines on it, and then a few minutes later it shut down again. We ran a full scan which took hours, and which found Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-0507.CA so we deleted that but all did still not seem well. We kept it mainly in Safe Mode and sometimes Safe Mode with Networking after that, and on 26th June MBAM found a Trojan.Zbot. After that, though, the scans just seem to be so slow (we ran Kaspersky Anti Virus Removal Tool and it said it was going to take 18 days!) and they tend to freeze after a while, always on the same one or two files which are, I think, e-mail ones. The Kaspersky scan did find seven Trojans before it froze, though. So now we are thinking that whatever it is on our computer is interfering with our scans. We are desperate for some expert help. We are pretty much computer novices and use our PC for things that most people do - e-mails, surfing the web and buying things, but don't know anything about registry edits or anything else. If someone could please kindly help us sort this, we would be very grateful. I have (hopefully) managed to disable the script thing, and found Notepad, and have done the two logs, pasted below: .
