835972 2009-12-03 18:55:00 Can someone please check the hijack log, even if you have no answers for the rest of it. supergran (108)
835973 2009-12-03 19:30:00 Having a quick scim, can't anything much.

I would personally loose Zone Alarm, it is a resource hungry over reporting hunk of junk, a few people here like it, so am sure will disagree. Personally id rather have most viruses and be hacked it will cost less in performance lol.

Here is what i would do from here.

Run "MSconfig" from "run" and go to "Startup". Un-tick as as much as possible from starting when the Machine boots. Everything like Logmein, Itunes bla ba. Anything your not sure about either google or leave.

See how it goes for a day or so, if it looks good start allowing apps to startup again and see which one causes the issue.

What Spyware/malware scanner are you using?

835974 2009-12-03 19:50:00 malware/spyware scanner, none at present, haven't even had it reformatted for a week, but I usually use crap cleaner and malwarebytes. At least I think they are the two I was using before motherboard and videocard crash.

Thank you to whoever said about the add on's on firefox, I have disabled the ones I could, and firefox is behaving.

Now for the rest, thanks, I will try msconfig, and go from there.

does the printer have to start on start up? It always does, and I can't figure out how to stop that, or the webcam through their folders, guess I will find them in msconfig too.

835975 2009-12-03 20:12:00 I'm with Battle. I'd do the same. AVG and ZA have long been struck off my list. Set the Windows firewall on (windows might do that, anyway, but check) after uninstalling ZA. linw (53)
835976 2009-12-04 03:44:00 Ccleaner also allows you to disable things from running on start up, you can turn off the printer and webcam from running at start up there gary67 (56)
835977 2009-12-04 03:50:00 You can tick these entries in the log then tick fix checked

I would disable indexing, open my computer / right mouse on C / properties. Untick indexing

835978 2009-12-04 06:51:00 Will go do that now thanks Speedy. I will have to run hijack this again, and maybe some of it will be different, as I unticked indexing last night, when someone suggested it.

Today, after following directions and doing stuff you all advised me to do, ie I disabled the add ons, and obviously, something I disabled in msconfig worked, as the puter is working beautiful.

Now I am just too scared to reboot in case it is a fluke. LOL

Thanks everyone, and will go to the hijack stuff now.

PS do you guys rely on the Windows firewall with XP? I use Avast for virus.

835979 2009-12-04 07:07:00 Use ccleaner and delete them under tools / startup. It'll do the same thing. Also if Nero scout is enabled disable it. I think it puts an icon in my computer (right mouse / properties I think). Depends what you do really (and where you go / what you get), and how paranoid you are, whether you install a firewall or not. I 'm just using Vista x64's firewall. And a modem/router Speedy Gonzales (78)
835980 2009-12-05 21:06:00 Yea, my techie also told me he doesn't like zone alarm, and yes, I am a bit paranoid, my main place to visit at present seems to be facebook, and yes I do play the games there. LOL

Now going to try and disable nero scout, and yes, will do that in ccleaner.

Thanks everyone, you guys rock. I would hate to say how much your advice saves me in computer tech bills.
