    Desktop "resets" event 5038. Audit Failer


    Hey guys I recently re installed win 7 home premium and a few days later when logging it said preparing desktop, as if it was the first time Ih ad logged in. When it finally logged in my desktop seemed to have been reset, it only had recycle bin, itunes (which had to reinstall after clicking it) firefox and thunderbird and I had to go to program files to find the programs I had and pictures etc weren't in the my pictures folder.

    Put everything back in place and now it's happened again right now but this time noticed the bubble on bottom of screen and to check event log. The event viewer says Event 5038 Microsoft Security Auditing and also says Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unaurthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.
    There is also this I cope and pasted below

    + System - Provider [ Name] Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing [ Guid] {54849625-5478-4994-A5BA-3E3B0328C30D}

    Download TFC by Old Timer TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer -> Anti-malware Tools -> Downloads and save it to your desktop.

    Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!

    Using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.

    Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.

    Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

    Tell us if this helps
