This is my second problem since joining your forums. Thanks for doing a quick and wonderful job the 1st time. :thumbup: This time my problem is with my machine in general. 1. The machine is slow for no apparent reason. 2. I suspect there is a virus some where though because whenever I try to open firefox, it either doesn't open or it opens a homepage called "www.gamingharbor.com" and the browser looks modified. 3. As for system performance, svchost suddenly takes up some 100's of thousands of K's of memory and things are generally slow. 4. The computer does alot of "processing" which affect things as simple as music playback i.e. the music sounds "sliced up" 5. System restore caused my wireless network adapter to stop working at one point. That's the most detailed description I can give with my limited understanding. Please help me out. Thanks
Take a read through this and then start a fresh thread in this forum and post a HJT log, and a brief description of your problem, and somebody will be along as soon as.
Helpers look for posts with zero replies which is why you need to start afresh and why i'll lock this one.
