"server busy" spyware driving me crazy, plz help me.

Expand Post »
I am getting a "server busy" popup on my computer about every 10 minutes. If I click on switch-to it opens my start menu, if I click retry it just opens another popup. I've searched the forums and a couple more people have the same problem. I tried to follow the instructions on their post but they didn't work for me. Here is my Hijackthis log.

Re: "server busy" spyware driving me crazy, plz help me.

Hi Ek-o, welcome to DaniWeb

There are no signs of anything malicious or otherwise amiss in your HJT log.
Can you give us any more details about the popup messages? Things like a description of what the popup windows look like, knowing which program is delivering them, knowing whether your entire Internet access is disrupted when they occur, etc. would help us.

Re: "server busy" spyware driving me crazy, plz help me.

It usually pops up when I start up my PC. It doesn't seem to disrupt my internet connection. I've ran almost every spyware program listed on this site. I'm not sure if its spyware now, could it be Mcafee trying to get a virus update? That and gmail are the only programs I have running that access the internet.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking- one of your valid programs not being able to make a connection.

It probably is a message from a legit program; here are the programs/services I see in your log which could be trying to "phone home":
The GMail components
The McAfee components
Yahoo Pager (YahooMessenger.exe)
jusched.exe (Sun Java Updater)
eMule
iPodService.exe
Trillian

You can try to determine the exact culprit by:

1. Disabling the startup programs/services (one by one) by using msconfig.
2. Checking for clues in the Application log via the Event Viewer utility in your Administrative Tools Control Panel.

Thanks for the response, I think i fixed it. I uninstalled Mcafee and installed Kaspersky. It seems to be gone .

I guess your hunch was right- seems like it was McAfee, eh?
