Help my PC is Possessed!
« on: September 02, 2006, 03:34:31 PM »
Weird thing is happening on my PC and nothing has worked so far. I am running Windows XP.  I have run Trendmicro virus and spyware scans and nothing has been found. Same with Ad-Aware and Ewido spyware scanners.  This is what happens; I'll be on the computer and then the START button menu pops up by itself,  then wherever I move the mouse, a left click menu pops up and sometimes it closes IE windows  and will freez for a minute or two. What could this be?

     icyboyedy.....  Is this something which just started ?
    What hapened just prior to that ......... any indication of bugs ?
    How about we start with a hijackthis logfile .........  get hijackthis at ....... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html     ......  once you have , do a scan, save the scan to your desktop and post it here ...use as many posts as necessary to get it all in .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    This problem has been occurring once or twice a month since about January or so, but this week it has occurred multiple times a day. This is really the only problem I have on my PC, the above mentioned tools usually keep my machine running very well.  I am stumped as to what it could be.

        I'm running Windows XP on a 800mhz Pentium 3 with 384mb of RAM. I do not know the temps of the cache, but the fans are working.

        While running the Ewido and other programs in safe mode I noticed that the problem also occurred. So I ran MSCONFIG  to see what programs ran on startup and I found one with no name Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run  that looks very suspicious. Any clue?

            Can you borrow a mouse & keyboard to swap out as a test?
            One at a time of course. ;)

              Switched the mouse, why would that cause problems? The file in question is blank, just as written above. I had a chat with a tech from my Isp to verify the Isp files that looked suspicious.

                Checked the file again. There is a new entry, it is blank, but checked off, and the old one is also there, not checked, interesting.
