Sudden Mega Slowdown!!

[xShrimp]

Hey there, guys.
Heres my situation:
I was planning to do a DVD backup on Roxio 9, when I press Start (for the burning process) it went to a BSOD for the file DLAIFS_M.sys, so okay I though maybe I should just restart and try again, but when it booted up again and I logged it, there was a major slow down! I couldn't believe it! And so I looked at my processes, everything there looked normal but the worst part was it was having a CPU load around 90%! I don't know what was going on, I turned it off and left it for the next day it was starting to get late. I turned on my computer in the morning and it was still slow, then my Norton I.S. 2005 subscription expired. So I ended up downloading AVG, and I'm currently doing a Complete Scan on it. Anyone tell me what could be the main source of the problem?

EDIT: AVG scan was done in SafeMode, and two Backdoor.Ciadoor.13 was found. Currently running sfc.exe in normal mode to check my system files.
Question: How many svchost processes would be normal? Because I have 7 (1 from LOCAL SERVICE, 2 from NETWORK SERVICE, and 4 from SYSTEM)

I have 9 running... but make sure they are spelled right and don't have capital letters...

Get a good firewall on there!

The file DLAIFS_M.sys belongs to drive letter access for Sonic Solutions software... not Roxio. Do you have DirectCD loading at startup?

[xShrimp]

All svchost.exe were spelt correctly, and no DirectCD.

I did another scan while in normalmode, and only cookies were found. And I also discovered something disturbing. I looked in my Device Manager, and there used to be 2 processors under the Computer branch (Intel Pentium D 820) and now all I see is one 'ACPI Multiprocessor Computer' is my processor fried!? Im scared. Anyway to fix this?

That is normal -look lower under 'Processors'

has this observation:


" On my 2.4-GHz Athlon 64 X2 4600+ test system, Roxio's VideoWave component was sluggish: It hogged memory and pegged CPU usage at 99 percent. "

this for the input but that doesn't really have anything to do with my problem i dont think. I've tried everything; two AVG complete scans (one in safemode), SpyBot scan. I am now.... going to attempt system restore. after I uninstall norton is 2005

EDIT: I got another problem, when I try to uninstall Norton, I get a BSOD. It says

A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.
The faulty driver is currently on the kernel stack must be replaced with a working version.

Now where is the kernel stack? And I am getting friggin pissed off. Why doesn't Norton let me uninstall in SafeMode?

[xShrimp]

and system restore.... did not help!

You bought Norton to protect you from invasions so it is doing its' job.

Have you tried turning auto-protect off and then uninstalling ?

[xShrimp]

Auto protect is already off, beacuse the subsciption expired and I think that was the problem.

[CCT]

Auto-protect won't stop - auto-update will.

norton uninstall tool

You would have thought by now that they could write an uninstaller that works... but no, you have to download a separate tool which does the job most times... if not, you have to uninstall it manually
