ATTN Alienrik MEMORY UPDATE

southernguy_2

Thanks for your help with sorting my pc out.

I need a little help still

On booting up the PC there appears to be something running in the background for about half an hour after switching on.

At first i thought it was Avast updating definitions but even after i receive notification that Avast has updated something appears to be draining the PCs resourses

Unable to close pages the screen eventually closing by sliding down the page, pages/browser unable to open etc etc
Once what ever it is has finished the PC is fine and moves along at a good speed.

Is there any other tests/checks i can do to see what is utilising my PC on start up.

Thanks

Bring up TASK MANGER and find which .exe file is using up the resources and post that

Run a fresh hijack on a fresh bootup too

Thats what i was looking for task manager

How do i bring it up? ok found it right click on taskbar

Will run a new hijack scan when i get in later

Thanks again

DatabaseError

Hi Grandmaster

Itunes and Nokia have been uninstalled via the control panel previously don't know why they still show.

may help for ipodservice.exe. If it doesn't, I'm sure someone will have a programme to remove traces of it...

aliEnRIK

you only need to type the process out thats taking all the cpu (whateveritis.exe)

southernguy_2

The only ones showing any use were

rundll32.exe 3% 340k

jucheck.exe 3% 72k

taskmgr.exe 3% 2,484k

system idle process 91% 16k


Also EVERY day when i turn off i get the message with the sheild saying this will turn off your computer and install important Microsoft updates


Don't normally get this every day before

Computer now been running a while and is fine
