Hello Im having a problem that quite a few people seem to be having over the net.
My PC has been running extreemly slow lately, locking up when using Windows Task Manager, when using Internet Explorer etc. Safemode freezes just after chosing a user and clicking the syustem restore dialog. I can only get in using Safemode with Networking. I strongly think this is the work of a trojan as I have had multiple warnings before, however I thought these had been removed.
I am suspicous about the activity of the windows task manager, I am unable to end processes for options such as csrss.exe and the svchost.exe. Should I be able to.
Surely seven instances of svchost.exe is to many...
Also internet explorer is consistently working offline...
BUT To the main problem:
My computer quite often on certain boot-up not open folders and programs that have not been loaded upon startup. When I click on any folders such as mycomputer, mydocuments, etc, the entire screen goes completely blank with only the desktop wallpaper visible for a few secs before returning to normal like nothing has been selected.
I have tried system restore and get a message that it cant be done.
Virus scans get nothing either. I use, adaware, edwido, trojan hunter, Nod32, spybot etc.
The only thing that seems to work at the moment is safe mode with networking. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks for getting this far, your help is really abreciated. I feel as if the computer could die any minute. I'm using it for graphic design fur university work, both be an my sister. The computer is unbearably slow, its impossible to use the resource hog design programs that we need to run.
P.s. Being my first post, I am just interested to know if you guys like long descriptive posts like the one I have done or should I cut the Chit Chat.
Thanks again and Hello from New Zealand.
