sony vaio update firmware extension parser device patch taking a long time

Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition I would appreciate any help or input that gets my laptop up and running. I am posting the logs in subsequent messages. I also scanned my laptop using AVG antivirus and it found some exes which it claimed were trojans in my pictures, temp and system folder. There are no processes after this and the machine hangs.

It runs, takes a backup and then does nothing after saying 'However, scan times for badly infected machines may easily double '. Finally, I unchecked the Devices and File tab and scanned again. I tried running it in safe mode with and without network. I tried running GMER countless times but it always crashes. Sometimes an advertising URL pops up as a new tab in the IE window that is currently open.ġ. I am unable to install it and there is always a persistent icon in my taskbar that says I have updates ready for install.ĥ. My Vista SP2 has failed to install many times. Also, there is no Sidebar and I am unable to access the Control Panel.ģ.

Once Vista is loaded, sometimes there is a white screen for a few minutes beore the OS loads.

This happened after a particular update of windows was unsuccessful.Ģ. The machine takes 10-12 minuntes to boot completely. I am assuming this because my problems came up after I rebooted the machine, having opened that photograph.ġ. They started after I opened a photograph which my friend sent to me through MSN Messenger. I have a Sony Vaio running Windows Vista with SP1.
