While I was browsing I noticed a fleeting Command Prompt pane showing something like ....stop.exe at the end. I am not sure if this is a spyware. I tried different anti spyware software. Never found anything like this. I recall there were times that the Command Prompt flashed. Is it that some malware were infecting my system?
when you access the recovery partition it may or may not give you the option of a an non destructive or a destructive system restore. I know some older HP's allowed a non destructive restore and that only replaced the operating system files....leaving all other files intact.

please search for this file on your computer, and let me know if it comes up and where it is found. wlcstop.exe
also you might try www.malwarebytes.org

I tried different anti spyware software.
why not LIST those so we can suggest things you haven't tried?Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions 7 Medals
I guess my thought would be to keep watching to see what pops up the next time, and what you were in the middle of. It could be an update or something like that I suppose. Are you within a work place environment and is your system administrator doing anything to update things? The other thought is that within the last 3-4 days windows released a massive patch on a bunch of things. Are you fully up to date on all of your updates? As xpuser4real suggests there are many anti programs out there. Perhaps Avast might be a free option for you since you are a windows 7 user, its supposed to be a great program.

also i marked myself down for the run on sentences mike
I tried Malarebytes' Anti-Malare, SUPERAntiSpyware, Spybot Search & Destroy 2. I am going to try Avast. Thanks for Mike & XpUser4Real .
Try these 2 fully working trials and run them till they run clean....then you can uninstall them using THEIR OWN uninstallers in all programs DO NOT remove them using programs & files.:

Hi, XpUser4Real, I tried both trjsetup682.exe and Avast. Not found. Thanks.
tap f8 on bootup and select safe mode with networking...run the tests again. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions 7 Medals
Hi, Mike. I really can't remember what I was in the middle of, when this occurred. I will keep watching. Thanks.
By the way, I can't run the Ease of Access functions like Magnifier or On-screen Keyboard. I am not sure if this is because of deletion of some of the files.
Spyware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet (where it is sometimes called a spybot or tracking software), spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties.

Hi, XpUser4Real, There is a bigger problem. I can not get on internet. I tried f8 and repaired several times. It restored the Ease of Access functions. The internet is still not usable. Maybe I need to go to restore it to factory default. My question is : Does it format the whole physical hard drive disk or just drive C:? My files are all on another partition which is the same physical drive as C:.Thanks.
open IE, click on tools/internet options/connections/Lan Settings and un check Use Proxy Server then close IE and open again...you should be able to get back online.

I went to Lan Settings. The Use Proxy Server was already unchecked. Thanks.
My question is : Does it format the whole physical hard drive disk or just drive C:? it depends, was that the ORIGINAL hard drive or did you install it?

It is the original hard drive.
