Okay found the troublemaker. Skype, latest version 6.11.102.
Should I install an other version? I won't loose my data right?
Dang it, wrong again. It also happens in my windows control panel when I choose under view "large icons".
Please download (free version) Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop
Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware FREE
* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.Right click to run as Administrator, using Windows 7 or Vista.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. Copy and Paste that log into your next reply.
Here it is. I removed some items in the log that are in the download folder and not installed that can't have any cause to my issue. (I am not 100% sure but pretty sure that the items involved from http://www.yamicsoft.com is a legit source.)
Also some good news I think. I did a clean boot and removed all programs on startup but my firewall and malware program.
And since then the error has not occurred again.
But I did see in the log some odd data that I didn't know for sure was a virus or nothing harmful.
If needed I can delete all things the virus scanner told me to remove. But I'm not exp any issues right now.
I didn't do a full backup because that would take a lifetime to scan through. Most of the time viruses are on the C drive of your windows. And I don't experience anything of the odd behaviour that could indicate a virus.
Anything that MBam detects... delete it! The log shows PUPS ("Potentially Unwanted Programs"). These may have come in 'bundled' with other software/programs you downloaded. They're also known as 'foistware'.
Everything that is showing in the .temp folders, is adware you don't want! Delete it.
After you've done that, download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.
- Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.- Click on the Scan button.
- AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
- After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
- The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
- Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
- A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.
Done it all as you asked. Isn't cleaning your registry a bad idea? I mean it could mess up the system. Many don't recommend it but if you say that what is shown in the log does no harm for being removed then I'll believe you. :)
I don't suppose there is a backup plan? If something goes wrong with my system I can't recover right?
Here's an interesting article about it: http://lifehacker.com/5482701/whats-...hats-the-point
I took a backup of my registry, just in case.
In short; If you say yes I'll delete it all.

Sorry, I'm late
Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
Click on the Scan button.
AdwCleaner will begin to scan your computer like it did before.
After the scan has finished...
This time click on the Clean button.
Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.
After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S#].txt) will open automatically (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder
Alright here it is.
Now what should I do? Because it seems the error is still present after all this time.
