Get systernal's Process explorer from the MS Site http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb896653.aspx and see what is opening and closing each time you do this. I've never heard of something like this happening that's soooooo bizarre. See if it still does it in Safe Mode.

Run and live cd version of a antivirus and a rootkit revealer and make sure you don't have some sneaky fellow.
ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Allx1 there was a virus a while back that caused this to happen with CCleaner.

Can you please download hijackthis log fom here

http://filehippo.com...oad_hijackthis/

Scan and save the log and copy and paste it in the Spyware Hell part of this forum with a little description of your problem

http://forum.pirifor...hp?showforum=12

If you have the same problem when you try to download the hjt log or it won't let you use it, still make a post in spyware hell and tell them what is happening.

The last user had a BAGEL Worm if I recall properly.
Good luck and let us know . Many of us will be watching the SpywareHell forum as well.

This is why we advise all PC users to install Antimalware programs NOW !!!
Better to have it on your PC before you get infected. You may not be able to install any help from the Internet after you are infected.
Bookmark this link and then use it . Read and use all the buttons on the left. Do it NOW not later.

Alix Do you have access to another computer??? Hijak this and CCleaner will run portably, this may be the way to go.

Also, esp if this is Bagel, here is a link to portible multivirus cleaner (at portablefreeware.com) it handles bagel http://www.portablef...are.com/?id=810
and here is trend micro's cleaner that'll run porably and in safe mode
