winlogon.exe file is missing - need help

[TheEnforcer]

After having major spyware troubles a couple days ago and using AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy to fit it every time I reboot I get a message that winlogon.exe file is missing and the computer seems to be running slower. Also woke up to a "virtual memory" is maxed out message. Also when rebooting I get one of those Microsoft error messages about the Services and App having to be shut down.

Any suggestions?

eek... Windows update site can't help?
Sounds like you need a major platform upheaval TE.

Did you manually delete stuff outside of running AdAware?

[TheEnforcer]

Nope. Just used ad aware and spybot.
