550637 2007-05-17 06:29:00 :mad: This is my system – ACER laptop with AMD Sempron 2800 + 512mb RAM. I am running XP and use Zone Alarm, AVG, Spybot + Ad Aware. Everything is up to date and I have virtually nothing on the computer (any files I have put on are <1gb).

My problem is – I start the computer up; can open up a programme (doesn’t matter what) and then when I go to close the open programme it won’t close (or open another whilst the first is still open) and the whole system locks up. You can’t do anything and have no option but to power off. You can click on other programmes but they will not open and you can’t click on the “start” to shut the system down

It does sound like a virus of some sort; I have run all the checks and nothing. Has anyone come across this? Or have any suggestions?

550638 2007-05-17 06:34:00 Get hijackthis in my sig below. Put it in its own folder run it click on scan and save a log.

Copy and paste the whole log here.

I would also get trojan remover in my sig, install it update it click on scan.

Then select the 3rd - 7th option in the utilities menu. See if it picks anything up.

550639 2007-05-17 06:36:00 From where I sit, I know that Zone Alarm & AVG don't like to be in the same computer....do you need them both?

I also dumped AdAware as Firefox seems to have that venue all closed up anyway.

512 RAM is kinda cutting it close with ZA running with AVG.

You got SP-2? It's not a choice..you should obviously get it if you don't.

Wait for Sir Speedy's appraisal though..he's the king of that sortta stuff

550641 2007-05-17 06:51:00 Put hijackthis the file you downloaded, in its own folder first.

Then run it again tick these entries then tick fix checked.

Close browser/s.

The log looks ok to me.

Nothing looks nasty in this log that I can see.

Might pay to see if the inside of the case needs a clean.

550643 2007-05-17 07:01:00 I put zone alarm on because someone told me that the Microsoft XP file wall was not as good. I keep everything up to date. Do you think I should remove zone alarm and go back to windows/Microsoft fire wall? Bodes (8475)

XP's firewall isnt good. As it only blocks incoming traffic. Not what goes out.

Keep Zonealarm installed.

What version of Zonealarm is installed? The latest version?
Speedy Gonzales (78)
550645 2007-05-17 07:06:00 Yes I have the latest version

Will try cleaning the machine as suggestted (not tonight though - need to get one of the air cans) - thanks for all your help
