| 76537 | 2002-09-05 02:15:00 | My Acer notebook, running Win98, when sitting idle goes into periods of intense harddrive activity - 100% RAM use, but unresponsive to anything. Can run for 5-20 mins, stop, then randomly startup again. How do I stop it/find out what is going on? | teft (1764) | ||
| 76538 | 2002-09-05 02:56:00 | Turn off fastfind if its enabled (look in the startup directory) first. Have you run adaware to check for spyware/adware? Free from www.lavasoft.com.de. |

| 76541 | 2002-09-05 05:56:00 | FastFind comes with MS Office, it's an indexing utility that does very little other than cause unnecessary hard disk thrash. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 76542 | 2002-09-05 06:14:00 | I don't seem to have FastFind and can't find anything at lavasoft link | teft (1764) | ||
| 76543 | 2002-09-05 06:25:00 | You're right, that link is dead. Try this (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/) one. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 76544 | 2002-09-05 06:27:00 | Seems to have moved Try: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ |

| 76546 | 2002-10-08 02:06:00 | I have the same problem on an ASUS L8400 Laptop - cannot see any clue after CTR-ALT-DEL in the Task Manager window of what program/process is running at the time - what should FastFind leave there if it is running? | DavidJones (258) | ||
