I'll never browse the web using an Administrator account again because out of nowhere on Friday whilst browsing something (probably a virus or worm) wiped out allot of my hardware configuration such as
"HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\CurrentControlSet"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlControlSet"
and so forth.

My installed antivirus, antispyware, and firewall didn't protect me one bit! Restoring a registry backup, and a system restore point didn't work, needless to say I reinstalled everything.

Were you still using EZ Antivirus or had you switched back to avast?

Umm no! Spybot SD's TeaTimer has a messed up malformed display. Arovax was uninstalled days before my system died on Friday.
