Random Problems Encountered

Found Nothing

Ok, can you look at the properties of that file and tell me what's in there?

Hmm, nothing there to help either. Sparky Tin Can Man, I apologize, but I don't know what else to check on this. I doubt this is caused by malware, but rather something that is installed on the system.

Okay, Thanks for trying. I guess that when I give myself a problem it's got to be a good one.

Could you take a look at my highjackthis log at: http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?show…ndpost&p=204646

Let me know what I can clean up. I'm not having any real problems just a little slowwing.

Thanks Again,
Darrell

Unfortunately, there are many logs ahead of that one that need to be looked at first. I work older logs first.

Okay. Any other suggetions on this problem?

Nope. As I said, I am out of ideas.

Well if you think of anything I'll keep tracking this log for a while

The problem was with one of the applications in my Trend Micro Office Scan called OfcDog.exe. The guys over at Geeks to Go helped me find it. I uninstalled the antivirus program and reinstalled it and that fixed it. Thanks for trying.

Glad to hear it. What was the problem with it?

It's some kind of watchdog program for Trend Micro Office Scan that attemps to restart the office scan software if it halts. What the problem was with the actual program was I don't know. It took some digging to figure out the problem but what finally solved it was searching for the errored application while the error was still on the sceen. As soon as I ackowlaged the error, clicked on the do not send button, it would removed itself. After I was able to see the properties of the actual erroring application with it's unusal icon I did a search of all files and folders by the modified by date and that lead to finding parent program "OfcDog.exe" with the same icon as the faulting one with the random name. First I just removed the application from the folder it was in and restarted my computer and the probem went away. I know that some virus's attack antivirus programs so mabe that's what started it. Mabe it was just a probem with office scan.

Armodeluxe is a great helper and will get you working. I'd be interested to say what TrendMicro says about all this.

Trend Micro's answer:
Uninstall the office scan program and reinstall it. run all updates and do a complete scan. sounds like a generic answer with a generic fix. The person that I spoke to said it could have been a botched update? But they didn't know.

Anyway, the problem is fixed and my computer is running normally again.
