In the command prompt, type, or copy>paste the following

Try a clean boot of your machine, don't stay online very long in this state, as your AV will be disabled
This is just for troubleshooting purposes

Take a look at the following link to run a Clean boot on your machine
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
Scroll down to the instructions:
Manual steps to perform a clean boot in Windows XP

Follow these steps

Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK.

The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
Step 2: Configure selective startup options
1.   In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Selective Startup.
2.   Click to clear the Process SYSTEM.INI File check box.
3.   Click to clear the Process WIN.INI File check box.
4.   Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
5.   Click the Services tab.
6.   Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
7.   Click Disable All, and then click OK..
8.   When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.

Do you get any errors running IE?

If it runs better, we may be able to track down a problem
Afterwards:
Go back to msconfig and choose NORMAL STARTUP

Apply and close, reboot again

IE runs the same. I didnt have any errors before either. Only problem i had before was that i got the win32 error message after being online for sometime.
Did u want me to stay online to see whether i still get that error in clean boot?

If you could, but only go to safe sites,
Also, can you try Firefox browser and let me know if you have any problems with it

I dont get the error anymore. Could u please check my HJT to see whether there are any more items that needs to be deleted. Sometimes when i go on youtube or listen to my mp3s (if i remember right) my computer freezes and i also get a motor running like sound for sometime and then goes back to normal. Previously my AV caught hacktool thing and trojans on my pc so I want to make sure my pc is free of malware and stuff


My newest HJT:
