Post #1
Over the last few days (a week or so), my computer has been experiencing strange slowdowns and occasional crashes.
I have run antivirus and anti-spyware programs: NOD32, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, ScanSpyware, and even AVG Antispware 7 (installed this one yesterday). The latter only found one thing, which I was able to eliminate (sorry but can't remember the name off the top of my head), and the former programs have found nothing strange or that shouldn't be there.

I have also run complete chkdsk (including surface tests), and I have defragged twice over the last 4 days.

Anyway, I suspect there might be something wrong - or traces of something that might cause these slowdowns and long crashes (up to 5 minutes or so), so I am posting a HiJack This Log in the hope someone can take a look at it. Thank you so much!! (By the way, my Win XP is in Spanish).

Juan

We are sorry that your topic was overlooked. The new infections that are coming out require us to spend more time on each topic, that and the lack of qualified helpers means that some of the topics will get passed over. Yours was one of those. :o

The reason for closing this topic is because you would not have been notified, should somebody have replied. Because the thread had gone 20 days without a reply. ;)

Should you return to the forums and still require assistance, please started a thread (topic). After doing so please post in this thread, with a link to this topic, and the new when you started. :wavey:

To help keep your PC clean follow the recommendations in Tony Klein's article So how did I get infected in the first place?
