    We need to see the events for 30/08/2013and forward...

    In the Number or Date of events section, check:
    >Date of events
    Use the dates From: 28 08 2013 To: 06 09 2013

    That should do it for us.

    Check 'number of events', then type 20. Post the log after running Vew again.

    @Jacee

    That was done already, but it did not go back to 30/08/2013 where we need to be.

    @Dragonride,

    Maybe if the computer gets restarted, the dates can be run...give it a whirl, please.

    If no luck, see if you can find the 30/08/2013 log using the following:
    Event Viewer - Open and Use in Windows 7
    In the left column, select: Windows logs
    The pertinent log should be under Applications or Security.

    Sorry guys, both Event Viewer logs only go back to about 14.00hrs on the 5th September.

    Okay, I've just checked when I did something, last month my hard drive started warning me of an overheating issue, so I got a replacement drive, cloned my system c/d drives onto the new drive, which is in place now. I've just checked the date I did the actual cloning, 27th of August, took nine hours to clone, and I replaced it on the 28th. But that still means I was using the new drive on the 30th.

    Dragonride,

    In Event Viewer, left pane, Custom Views > Administrative Events

    Do you find any events there dating back to 30/08/2013? If so, how many?
    What info is under the Source column?

    You may have to maximize the Event Viewer window, and move the columns of Level, Date and Time, Source Event ID, and Task Category, by placing the mouse pointer over the column title, and when it turns blue/green, move it to the right until you see the info under it.

    Of particular interest are Errors or Warnings related to services.exe, Service Control Manager, and Services and Controller app.

    Just the one event for that date, and it's a printer spooler issue.

    Let's move on...

    Please download Temp File Cleaner (TFC):
    http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
    Save to the Desktop
    Double-click on TFC.exe to run the program.

    Be sure to save any work in progress before running TFC!!

    Click on Start to begin the cleaning process.
    TFC closes all running programs, and may ask to restart the computer.
    If so, please restart.



    Next, please use the Junkware Removal Tool Download
    Save to the Desktop.

    Make sure you temporarily disable your AntiVirus, Firewall, and any other AntiSpyware applications. These programs may interfere with the running of JRT.
    Info: How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs - Security Mini-Guides

    Right-click JRT.exe and select: Run as Administrator

    The tool opens and starts scanning the system. Please be patient as this can take a while...

    When done, a report, JRT.txt is saved on the Desktop.

    Please post the contents of JRT.txt in your reply.


    Now, let’s run the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
    Download:
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Under the Download Now blue button, click: Select your version, which is 32-bit
    Save to the Desktop

    At the program console, select: QuickScan
    (Depending on whether it finds malware, and what it finds, you may be prompted to run a Full Scan.
    If so, please do.)

    When done, search for the msert.log, and post its results.


    Also check the Action Center. Is the message still showing?

    Thanks guys for all the help, I'm just wondering if this might be a left over that didn't clone across from the old drive?

    Dragonride,

    That is exactly what was expected of the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
