| 122623 | 2003-02-20 20:45:00 | what programs have you got running in the background? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 122624 | 2003-02-20 20:52:00 | Hi Heni For starters, hit CTRL/ALT/DEL, open the task manager and see what applications and processes are running. Close anything suspicious but if you are not sure, do a Google search on the details to see what it is. I presume your AV program is up to date and being used, so if you have been surfing dangerously, dowload and run Adaware6 to clear out any nasties. Post the results and we'll take it from there.

| 122626 | 2003-02-21 01:04:00 | There is a program related to CTHELP or something like that that goes crazy every once in a while. I just find it and end task it. Cant remember off hand exactly what it was but something like that as it has not happened for a while. | Big John (551) | ||
| 122627 | 2003-02-21 05:54:00 | Go to Google and type in PCPitstop. Its an online program that scans your computer, and tells you any faults it picks up, and helps you fix it It was recommended to me on this forum |
