it cannot be the av, I have changed numerous times from avast to avg and running symantec corp ver 10.x right now, and it only started about 3 days ago. I don't have any active anti spyware programs installed, just stuff I manually run on a regular basis adaware, spybot etc.

Now I am just pissed off, I was running scans in safe mode and....THE SCREEN SAVER WORKS!!! So there has to be something associated with my profile that is loading up and messing up the screen saver, I ran all my scans in safe mode and nothing was found, I checked all my processes that load and found nothing new or out of the ordinary. This will be the end all of end all computer problems, I cannot rest until I get this resolved now.


Hijack this log removed, I think I may have resolved the problem. I thought of an old bot/trojan scanner I used to run back in the day called Swatit, it only found one entry and that was for a file in my Windows directory called gamedelete.exe I have no idea where it came from and what it was for, it was never in my running processes, it never showed up on any scans, but after removing it, I think everything is back to normal, I changed my screen saver timeout to 1 minute sat back and it kicked on like normal, 30 minutes later the monitor went into sleep mode, and nothing has tried to change window focus the entire time I have been typing this, so for all the PC help threads don't forget to add Swatit to your list of must haves.
