I've done 2 complete Norton Antivirus 5.0 scans with new def files. No viruses found.
Here's what I do know:
There are two "patches" listed in Dr Watson. One is ATMSYS.drv and is a valid abobe font thing. The other says only module type GDI, and <unknown>.
While typing a response earlier I got 2 errors. Here is the Dr. Watson logs in case anyone can figure them out:

The first error I believe caused the second. From my basic C programming classes I think a null pointer exception may be caused because something got dumped from memory, then the program tried to access it via a pointer later.
The fact that AH is using my Windows\system folder as temp space can't be good either.
Something on this system is messed up, but I can't reformat and reinstall until the 8th of January at the earliest.
