After going through a scare earlier this year, I do believe this one is the real thing :p
A few weeks ago, my computer was running normally - and then it shut itself off out of nowhere. Since then it's been behaving bizarrely; I've had issues with all of my firewall history disappearing and a warning when I log into Yahoo that 'my browser doesn't support redirects'. This morning I closed my browser and it warned me that some files related to windows . When I logged back on my HP Support assistant launched and asked me if I wanted to make changed to the computer. I said yes, figuring this was part of an update. It launched my HP health check and numerous features in it...including a cscript.exe file.
Since then, I've found an exclusion data.xml file in my HP Healthcheck, updated today, with the following saved in it:

All of my Norton scans come up clean. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?
