| 838910 | 2009-12-12 05:07:00 | I have googled around and really found nothing at all. Basically what's happening, my games that I play now (Aion,TF2, CS:S and CoD6) are having very weird issues. I play games in windowed mode, for quicker access to other things, but after around.. 3 Alt + Tabs the game will freeze, load, and the colors and everything is just all messed up. I don't have a screen shot of it right now. On CS, Most object go blank white and some blue and red. Aion, random textures cover the screen, like fuzzy lines, and the colors become all messed up. CoD6 just crashes, and doesn't respond again until I restart it. Now, along with this problem, when I close programs sometimes my computer will freeze for 10, 15 seconds. I think these may be linked some how together. This all started after I bought SpySweeper, NoD32 and AdvancedSystem Care, because I went crazy on security. My Specs are as follow -Intel Core Quad 2.66GHz. -3.2 Gig RAM -GeForce GTX 260 -500 Gig HD. 50% Full. Thanks. |

| 838911 | 2009-12-12 06:03:00 | One of the problems more than likely is the amount and types of security. Webroot - used to be only antispyware - they then bundled in their own Anti-virus = :yuck: Nod32 is the better Antivirus :thumbs: Advanced System Care, - never used or even tried it BUT you can only have ONE anti-virus and ONE firewall - any more and they usually clash causing all sorts of problems, each thinks the other are infections -- Picture a massive fight going on between your AV's all trying to wipe out one another - which very well may be your problem. Webroot used to be damn good, until they forced in their AV. I know you can disable the AV in Webroot, but it may still clash with the others. |

| 838912 | 2009-12-12 06:14:00 | Oh... I see.. Damn. I knew about twp anti viruses clashing, I should have read read better before buying. If I uninstall SpySweeper, Will NOD32 still pick up spyware? And AdvancedSystem Care is like, CCleaner with more options and features. But thanks, I'll try uninstall Spy Sweeper and see what happens. |

| 838913 | 2009-12-12 06:43:00 | Open Webroot spysweeper - locate and disable its antivirus - it "should" behave. I had it here operating like along with Nod32 that on a couple of PC's until the spysweeper expired - and they got on OK. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 838914 | 2009-12-12 07:55:00 | Well, after uninstalling SpyBoot, computer seems to be back to normal. Odd how slow it made it. I'll try disable the AV, thanks. |

| 838915 | 2009-12-12 08:07:00 | Thats what happens, when you get carried away with too many anti-malware programs :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 838916 | 2009-12-14 07:47:00 | Ok.. A day later, after removing SpySweeper. After closing games I'm still freezing, even the iTunes music stops. And the colours are still messing up.. :mad: | Mister (15201) | ||
| 838917 | 2009-12-14 08:02:00 | Just had a quick look through the posts -- Whats the OS ? Also has there been any driver updates at all lately ? |
