Windows 7 logging me into a temporary profile

Little update on my situation; with hours and hours of tinkering all night I've got my computer clean of a Trojan (which I believe was the root cause of most of my problems) and also got Windows Update and Firewall working perfectly fine once again. My system seems completely clean now, I have done a complete scan since and nothing has been detected.

Despite this, windows still logs me into a temp profile after I restart. I really don't know what's causing this mess, but it's my last remaining problem.

Sorry to hear that. You might create a bootable 64-bit Windows Defender Offline USB key to use to boot from on your computer to do a full scan to help see if your system is clean.

I will try this though, hopefully it may detect something I'm missing, but I no longer think it's the work of a virus or malware or whatever.

This says it applies for Windows Vista, would this tutorial work on Windows 7 also?

Oh sorry, didn't see that bit. I'll try this now!

Ah, I see, I've tried this one before and it's never worked for me.

Even now it doesn't, it's took me hours getting back onto my account (i've had to switch my computer on and off a lot of times).

Thank you for the help though; any other possibilities?
