Hello Malwareremoval,

I have a problem with a Windows XP SP2 system that has demonstrated several irregularities. Regedit will open and after 10 seconds it would close automatically. Additionally, after doing a Google search, I would click on a link and end up going to a random website. It doesn't happen everytime but enough to get my attention. Additionally, chkdsk doesn't run after rebooting. I ran Spyware Doctor in Safe Mode and all the problems mentioned happened in Safe Mode as well.

I've run the following programs in order to try and find a virus, adware or spyware:

Spyware Doctor 6.0.0.386
http://www.trendmicro.com/housecall
EZTrust 7.0 Virus Scan
sfc /scannow
Advanced System Care 3
