I have 2 harddrives. One for my programs, software and etc and the other one is strictly a music folder with mpegs and mp3's.
I had Incredimail (an email program) which kept opening up on it's own.
I thought it was a software issue so I uninstalled and reinstalled it again.
It was still happening. So I uninstalled it completely.

Soon after, Outlook Express started doing the same thing, along with AOL Instant Messenger. At this time I've decided I must have a virus/adware/spyware so I ran Norton, Ad-Aware and Spybot.
Still didn't solve the problem.
Then, it became worse and every 5 seconds it will take over my screen, not allowing me to work on anything because it's blocking my access.

I have succumbed to reformatting my PC at this time by deleting my existing partition. Guess what? It's still happening.

I've searched Google to see if anyone has had this similiar problem and I've gotten nothing.

Can anyone here help me?

chanel.....Well your latest hijacklthis log is clean ......as far as I can see ......However , programs dont just start by themselves .......Are you using a dialup service or are you on broadband ?  
Now that you have SP2 , I would suggest the following ......
D/L .....antispyware BETA ..... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en

and ....Ewido .....  It's a fully functional 14 day trial
http://www.download.com/Ewido-Security-Suite/3000-8022_4-10326287.html

Run these apps and remove anything it finds and then let us know if you still have the issue .

I have succumbed to reformatting my PC at this time by deleting my existing partition. Guess what? It's still happening.

chanel ...... If your on Cable ...... then possibly this entry ..( while not a bad one is causing this issue )   run hijackthis and  mark it for removal ......

  Did you do a clean install or just a repair ?

When you ran your Ewido scan...did you do it with the system restore turned off ?

let us know

2- When the install was finished, I did not install any programs for about an hour and Outlook Express was STILL launching on it's own.

Were you connected to the net during this time?
