Windows repair error (trying to use standalone)
Boggin:
They may reinstate themselves after a reboot.
There are some suggestions in this article in how to fully uninstall, but create a restore point before making any changes to the registry.

Only if their Registry entries are still in place, which I believe would have been taken care of by the original uninstall, and if disabling them from starting failed. If the Guard driver is stopped and disabled, the Helper driver can then be stopped and disabled, since the Guard driver wasn't running to prevent this 'interference'.

Hi
I did
"Repeat the same steps by entering Registry Editor and deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zemana\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zemana\
Reboot the computer."
it started as it should and they are no longer listed in the device manager.
I dont remember if this was an upgrade from xp sp3 or if it was a reinstall. There is a Windows.old.000 file on C

Good work.
It looks like your base hardware is all pretty old, and I'd guess it must have been originally on XP. I doubt that there's any W7-specific drivers available for it.
Do you still use dial-up or fax? If not, your SmartLink modem can be uninstalled and physically removed. This should prevent the 2004 drivers loading (slntamr.sys, SlWdmSup.sys, Mtlmnt5.sys and RecAgent.sys).
I don't think we can do anything about the 2007 driver, sisagpx.sys AGP (GART) driver). The latest drivers I see are of the same XP/Server2003 vintage.
The WER logs showed signs of BSOD/program crashes involving at least two different torrent programs, these are pretty notorious for hogging resources and clashing with security drivers. I would fully uninstall any torrent software, or at the very least, prevent them from running at startup.
I don't see any known bad drivers loading otherwise.
Ensure you keep the common malware target software fully updated, Windows obviously, Adobe Reader/Macromedia Flash/Java (are you really sure you still need Java? Uninstall it if you're unsure, if any other program fails to run because it needs Java, look for alternatives to them).

Hi Satrow.
Thanks for that I shall remove the fax if I can.
and follow the rest of your advice.
Thanks again
Sue
