OK.
Lets see what happens

[LDTate]

Also do this

Check the settings.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In the "Secure logon" section, select the "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" check box.

Make sure the guest account is disabled and you have a user login and passowrd.

Did that work?

[kl3zero]

i have applied the changes but have not really had time to verify if the issue is still happening as it is finals week here. I will try to look when i have time and update with further info.

[LDTate]

Finals come first

[kl3zero]

Was just able to confirm the problem is still happening.

[LDTate]

Did you create a password for the administrator account?

[kl3zero]

Yes i did add a password as well as activate the ctrl+alt+del option.

[LDTate]

I've had a couple more just like yours and doing that cured those.

Did you reinstall the firewall?

[kl3zero]

no i have not re-installed the fire wall. I was using comodo but am not set on that if there is a more preferable one.

[LDTate]

I'd try Windows 7 firewall.

Just go into the security settings and activate it.

[kl3zero]

Okay i will activate it now.

[LDTate]

We'll see if that does it.

[kl3zero]

it turns out it was activated already.

[LDTate]

OK.

This popped up during the scan from my antivirus. The two options given are to delete or no action. 4/30/2012 9:42:06 PM Real-time file system protection file C:\Users\Kenny\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CH73I8RI\mop[1].htm JS/Exploit.Shellcode.A.gen trojan cleaned by deleting - quarantined Kenny-PC\Kenny Event occurred during an attempt to access the file by the application: C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\OnlineCmdLineScanner.exe.

However it looks like this may be from the online scanner so i did not answer whether to delete or not. The scan is almost complete i will update with the log soon.
