Hello,
Foremost, I'd like to thank anyone in advance for the help. Today, I randomly started getting this message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item"
Thus, I tried to open my anti virus to do a scan and even that gave me the same message. So, I thought this is a virus and I installed Avast anti-virus to do a scan but when I restarted the computer, even Avast gave me the same message.
I've been on the internet looking for some fixes for hours now but nothing is working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what happened earlier. After that, I did a system restore and restored my computer to 3 days earlier. After that, it was working fine..until I did a spyware scan with my anti virus (Bell Security Services) and then my anti virus shut down. I've been getting the same message since.
I tried to also run MBAM and HijackThis, both installed fine. Then, I ran the scan and in the middle, both shut down and now the programs won't open. I get the same message.
Thanks again, this is really whack :S

Hi,
Please save this file to your desktop. Double-click on it to run a scan. When it's finished, there will be a log called Win32kDiag.txt on your desktop. Please open it with notepad and post the contents here.
