Red x next to Hard drive C

Hello

next to hard drive C I have a red X. I have tried Reg cleaner, Free Window Registry Repair, uniblue reistry booster, I have also ran superantispyware free edition, and adaware. Thinking maybe one of them would help.

PC freezes up a lot.

Can someone help me fix this issue.

If anything, those programs would likely have made your problem worse.
Why don't you try a System Restore, back to a point in time where everything
was ok?

Hi,
You still have malware installed. Removal will require expert help and
HijackThis.
See these sites for help, including the posting of a HijackThis log to one
of the forums where HJT logs are analyzed:

Look for an "Important- Read this first" type message, at whatever forum you
choose, for specific instructions.

Hope this helps,
