I have ran all kinds of scanners (Housecall, SM from iolo, norman etc...) But i cant seems to find the problem.
I did not have any of these problems before someone ran a fork bomb on my machine ( Dos: %0|%0). And now Norman does not work either. i Can problay give you a hi jack this log, but i do not see how that can help.
*Wrote this rather quickly, can give more details in about an hour and a half*

It won't help, a fork bomb isn't a virus. Try restoring to point prior to bomb.
Other than that I've not really heard of a fork bomb actually causing damage like this, usually you just need a reboot to restore the system.

I know, but it seemd to fuck up my AV, so i did not work any more. Going to try a restore if i can find i copy. And the fork bomb actually freezed my entire system, so i had to reset on the spot.

Fork bombs usually do eat up resources till you have to power cycle. My guess is, that in consuming your resources it could have overwritten something that it shouldn't have. Maybe it found or caused a memory leak.

Get revenge, invite said friend over for sleep over, when friend is asleep super glue his ass cheeks together, in the morning when he asks why you did it, reply "I thought it would be fun".
