Custom Build PC. Started having glitches in almost all programs. Usual operations, just this day starting acting all weird/glitches.
I scanned with AVG and got the following changes.
Partition table (MBR) Change
Boot Sector of disc Change
Kernel32.dll Change
wsock32.dll Change
user 32.dll Change
shell32.dll Change
ntoskrnl.exe Change
I attempted to get into System Restore but I get an new window that only allows me to report a windows error.
I got into BIOS, changed to boot from CD-Rom. Put Win XP Disc in and it boots. When I select repair it tells me I have no hard drive recognized. When I attempted to re-install, it tells me I have no hard drive recognized.
NO. 1: Virus? If so, do I just get something like Norton which will allow me to restore to a earlier time? Full Scan with AVG picked up notta except the changes I’ve included herein.
NO. 2: Glitch? I’m lucky to have had a couple years no problems and today is my problem day? It’s a computer, computers get glitches? Am I able to undo the changes to bring me "back to normal?"
NO 3, Good computer tech can breeze through this in 3 minutes?
NO 4, Is there a back-door to get into system restore to restore to a previous time?
I did de-frag the hard drive which took nearly 7 hours (250-gig). I did a Win. System Clean up which took 30 min.
De-frag normally takes 30-min at best. System Clean up takes usually 2-3.
Now de-frag and System Clean up taking the usual short periods of time.

If you can run your hard-drive manufacturer’s diagnostics tools, check that your hard drive is okay.
Also, have you tried booting into Safe-mode to attempt system restore?
The only "backdoor" is ERD Commander, which I believe you don’t have. It’s possible you’ve got a virus.
When you log into your Windows, right-click on My Computer icon and go to Manage. There, in the left column, open the Event Viewer and go to System. On the right you’ll see the logs. Under the Source column look for "disk" errors. If you have any, it means you’ve got a problem with your disk. Also, it might be smart going into My Computer, right-clicking the C: drive, going to Properties > Tools and clicking the Check Now under error checking. Check both checkboxes, click Start, and when your computer asks you to, restart your computer and let it complete full disk check. If you miss the results of the check, you can load your Windows again, go to My Computer > Management > Even Viewer > Application and look for source chkdsk. Double-click the event to see the results and look for Bad Blocks and see if you have any. If you do – you have problem with your hard drive.
A technician possible could fix it within 15 minutes, but not necessarily, it depends on an actual problem. If it’s a virus, it’s either disconnecting your hard drive, connecting it to another computer and running an antivirus scan from that computer, or backing up your data, formatting the drive, reinstalling the system and restoring the data (if you’re in WinXP, it might be useful to use the FAST wizard from your XP disk).
There are few possible options, like using some software to fix the MBR, or set a default MBR code which might help if the MBR is busted, but I don’t believe you should do it by yourself.
