Desktop Computer (SONY VAIO) is acting up - receiving Bad Windows Image errors and more...
Our SONY VAIO desktop has been acting up the past week and I am about to lose my mind! The PC has been locking up, programs crash and various "Bad Windows Images" error messages appear. I have Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 installed but even the virus scan is going into an endless hoop. When I try to bring up Task Manager, I receive an error message that it cannot be opened. I can supply the error messages as they come up, but for now, I'm including a Hijack This log that I ran this morning. Advice is appreciated!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Rindi,
I looked at the tower and wouldn't you know, the fans and vents were covered in a thick layer of dust (I was shocked and shamed but I don't climb under the desk very often to see what's going on). I removed the dust, opened the case and removed dust around the fans and cards (I grounded myself first). The PC seems to be running faster, smoother and definitely much more quietly. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to know look at everyone's suggestions and see if these will get the rest of the problems solved. Thanks.

OK. I don't think this is a virus issue. Have you tried running sfc /scannow?

I want to thank the experts who helped me with this situation. I ran spy bot search and destroy and ad-aware and that seemed to clear up most issues. But, the best suggestion (thank you rindi) was to check for dust. I am embarrassed to say that when I crawled under the desk to look at the PC tower, I was horrified to see that it was caked in dust! I unplugged everything, opened the case, cleared out dust from the inside and out. Not only is the PC running better, several USB ports and a card reader that were not working before are working again.
Thank you to everyone!
