From: AIANDAS on 31 Jan 2010 23:56 I managed to get rid of the AVG remnants, but the other services are still messing around with my system files in Event Viewer. Now what?

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 1 Feb 2010 02:14 What anti-virus application was installed before you installed AVG? Was the subscription still current when you uninstalled it before installing AVG?

Thank you > in > advance. Google (or whatever search engine you prefer) each of the offending services, and you'll find out what they are. For example, PSINKNC is part of Panda Cloud Antivirus, so you'd be better off uninstalling it and reinstalling. Same with the rest. Some may require updates or patches from the manufacturer. You might want to try installing another anti-malware product and running it, such as MalwareBytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html to see if you have some sort of infection. Is this a recent problem? Have you installed some new software or hardware that may have caused it? If not, my hunch is malware of some sort. -- SC Tom
From: AIANDAS on 1 Feb 2010 07:23 I am hoping to avoid the grief of re-installing the OS all over again. I am currently running Avira as my antivirus which is FREE when running on an individual level. Please help, otherwise if that is the end game to this problem well, I'll need to save my files/data etc "20100201" wrote: > AIANDAS wrote: > > >I've been experiencing on-going crashes and I go to Event Viewer and it shows > >me that the following services failed to load or error messages came about: > >PSINKNC; PLFLASHJ DEVICE CONTROL SERVICE; NANO SERVICE MAIN; AVGIDS WATCHER; > >AKAMAI SERVICE; ADFS SERVICE;P ZUNE BUS ENUMERATOR; AVGIDS AGENT; AVGIDS > >DRIVER; AVGIDS FILTER; AVGIDS SHIM; PSINPROC SERVICE; PSINFILE; PSINAFLT. > >Apologies for writing in caps but I wanted to ensure these things stand out. > >Any advice on how to deal with this will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Will uninstalling SP3 and re-installing it again remedy this problem?
