Lordoftheweb Log - 01

October 1, 2005

Hello,

My computer screen freezes in the middle of applications fairly often. I use zonealarm, avg antivirus, spywareguard, spywareblaster, spybot, ad-aware, and keep them all up to date and run them at least once a week. I also defrag, and use ccleaner and Cleanup! to keep things smooth. I have also cleaned the registry since this started, but it didnt help.

I have a Pentium 4, 2000 mhz, 40g hard drive, 250g external hard drive, 768 ram, and the computer has been doing this for about a month or so. The computer is 4 years old.

For whatever reason, when i hit the power button manually on the computer and shut it (the computer) down, but not all the way (i dont hold the button down, just press it quickly once-I believe its called "stand by mode") the computer goes into "hibernation mode" and then i press it again, and it comes back on and works fine again.

I have cleaned out the inside carefully for dust, and it is in a cool place. i have also run all anti spyware and antivirus programs before this post.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

I forgot to add that I also ran Microsoft anti-spyware.

As well, is there anything else I can delete to speed things up?

Thanks all.

Hi Tarun,

I ran (after finally figuring it all out ) the windows memory diagnostics a couple of times and it didnt find any problems. Any other suggestions?

And is there anything I can remove from my log to make things faster and more efficient?

As well (sorry for all the questions), when i start my computer quicktime and Microsoft anti spyware both load, but they arent in my startup list (msconfig thing that i check). Why would that be?

Thank you.

sorry, I should have read the heading and posted this as:

Lordoftheweb HijackThislog - 01.

Oh, the link on the announcement part of hijackthislogs is page not found.

Tarun · October 1, 2005

What all have you run so far?

October 2, 2005

Well, I hit the link you gave me and there was a download link. I downloaded it and saved it to disk. I read the instructions, and basically I understood (hopefully correctly) to turn off computer, put disk (floppy) in A drive and then turn computer on. It then "booted" the disk and started running the tests automatically. It ran 6 tests and then started again. The instructions state that if it doesnt find anything the first run through, it wont find anything, and I can either turn computer off or press X to stop test. Since it didnt find anything, I turned the computer off, and here I am.

Problem persists. Did I do everything correctly?

Hey, did you change the name of my thread, and did you delete some stuff from the first post? Not that i care, as i kind of assumed that i didnt get a response because i didnt follow the hijackthislog instructions and posted the wrong thread name. :( We live and learn. :D

Tarun · October 2, 2005

Any of the Anti-Malware package?

I just cleaned it up some. :D

October 2, 2005

Wow that was fast! LOL! I ran all of the anti malware package.

Microsoft anti spyware, spywareblaster, spywareguard,avg, spybot, adaware, cwshredder, ccleaner, cleanup!, diskcleaner, diskdefragmenter.

everything is up to date, and my windows xp is a legitimate version with sp2 and i always upgrade all of my programs.
