Title: Re: 'After a while, Internet pages stop loading, programs won't open'
Post by: rich01 on May 08, 2009, 04:18:52 PM
This is my original topic here:

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,82985.0.html

"After about 10/15 minutes on the computer internet pages will all of a sudden not load, and no programs on the computer will open. Basically the computer is still running but everything seems to freeze. The only thing i've been able to do is turn off at the mains then start again.. then the same thing will happen."


I've run Malwarebytes anti-malware, and removed 20 infections, i've run Super antispyware free adition and removed what came up on there. Though i've not done a full scan yet, it's pretty late and the computer froze again. I've run them again and no more infections come up.

I have a log from hijackthis. If someone could point out to me what I need to delete on there, that would be really helpful, I don't know what i'm looking at. The computer seems better but i know there's still something there. I've pasted it below:

Thanks for that link, that was very good.

Unfortunately the problem still seems to exist. Hijackthis would allow me to remove everything on the list apart from one thing, i'm not sure if that could be the suspect though. Avast seems to think everything is fine.

Basically as I say after about 20 minutes, I won't be able to open any programmes, or new internet windows. I'll just get the egg timer and nothing much else. I can open new tabs through whatever website i'm on though, bizzarely. I'm not sure what to do now.. I'm almost resigned to the fact i'll have to pay to get it fixed which is annoying. It must be some kind of virus.

Will it get rid of the virus?

I feel so stupid now. I found out about system restore and I was about to do it.. only someone told me about turning off system restore whilst using hijack this, and now i have no restore points! Aghhhhhhh.

Ok guys everything is fixed now.

I installed Kaspersky and it deleted everything straight away, it's EXCELLENT. I think I may have used it in the past. None of the other anti virus's worked so i'm thinking of purchasing it because it was so good.

I reinstalled windows as well. Everything is fine now.

Thanks!
