Open notepad and copy and paste the following in.

Save this as fix.bat to your desktop and double click to run. A black box will pop up and disappear, this is normal.

Try your notepad again and see if you get the same error.

Thanks kritius. I tried it but I'm still getting the same error for Notepad.

I also tried upgrading my iTunes to the latest version but I still have to go through the service agreements each time I open the program.

Go to tools, folder options, view, uncheck hide extensions for known file types.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\ and look for notepad.exe.vir rename it to notepad.exe.

Don't know about the iTunes issue. Would suggest backing up the iTunes music folder and then removing it and reinstalling.

I was out of town attending a friend's wedding so I haven't been using my PC in the last 3 weeks.

I still haven't been able to figure out the iTunes issue but my Notepad is working fine now. However, I noticed that when I boot up, the PC stays on my background image for several minutes (with the rotating hourglass) before all the icons and toolbars load up. It seems to be running slower - as if something may been running in the background. I've attached all my logs. Are there still infections present?

I haven't done anything since the last time I was here except install some critical windows updates.
