Hi.

So, just a few days after I got rid of the TDSS virus, my computer started acting very strange. Upon reboot, it would not load AVG Free or Zone Alarm, and iTunes would not start when I plugged in my iPhone. I was able to solve those issues. In Zone Alarm, I went in and re-checked the box that says to launch it on startup. For AVG, I ran the repair installation from the install file. For iTunes, I reinstalled it.

However, I am still having one issue that I cannot solve. A program called dotmacsyncclient.exe gives me the following error at random times:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xC0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

When I click OK, my computer does not respond for an indeterminate amount of time. I can't slick on 'Start', and even Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing. After a while, my computer will finally respond again, but my internet connection is dead, and I have to reboot to get it working again.

I have run SUPERAntiSpyware in Safe Mode, and Malware Bytes in normal mode, but neither found anything. I've attached my Hijack This log. Could you look at it for me and let me know if you notice anything weird?
