Greetings,
I've searched for 2 weekends now on solutions to the problem I am having with my son's relatively new computer (arrived 9/10/07).
I've tried numerous suggestions from numerous sites (mainly this one) and I'm still unable to get a desktop in normal start up mode. I can in Safe Mode.
I did the cleanup methods described in the forum starter notes. There were 3 downloaders and a trojan present on the computer that I had hoped AVG would take complete care of, but my system is still not loading the desktop in normal startup mode.
I ran HiJackThis and have this log:
