Suspishio

Hi again. Although youy prolly answered your own question, just about evrything matters when you have little memory. Like the amount of stuff on your desktop (especially full size files rather than shortcuts); the size of your pre-fetch cache. Also there is the possibility of a graphics driver problem, like …

The date and time of the folder's creation should correspond with the date when your installation was set up. Does that check out? The folder is put there when you start crerating users on an otherwise default or OEM system. Harmless and can be deleted.

Seems to me that the sites are blocked by the Proxy Server. Does that seem possible to you?

Perhaps check the BIOS to ensure that SATA is enabled and indeed that the BIOS sees the SATA drives. Whatever glitched the IDE drive might have glitched the SATA drive.

Not much to go on. We need to know a lot more. - What browser? - What messages? - What web connexion method & speed? - What firewall service? - What anti-virus & anti-spyware is running?

And if you turn Norton off? And your test message - does it get through? What's changed since it was working OK? Anything changed on the router setup?

Doesn't your mobo have an IDE socket that can be enabled via the BIOS? Then you can hook up that way. Something would worry me about the SATA frig that you're trying to work. Maybe one drive (Boot) would work ... Anyway, let's hope the IDE option works. Also have …

Sorry for the glib reply - it's bust and needs fixing. Not much we can do here unless there's a Tosh geek here acting as a repaor manual. if it's overheating, Windows is frozen and cant respond to buttons etc. Sorry.

HJT sacan looks clean to me. I hope the real brainios here agree. You need to discover what's hogging the CPU. When it's booted and something is running slow (is everything running slow?), bring up Task Manager --> Processes and click twice on the CPU column. Make a note of …

I think it's rather a cheek that you should wish to freeload on our good nature when you're not even prepared to maintain anti-virus/spyware software. At least you were straight with us.

Can we have more information please? What lights? Any beeps? Fans running? Disk spinning? What happened when you last switched off? What PC and configuration? Any recent changes? Any power spikes? Getting info off the hard drive eventually will be easy if you have access to another PC or laptop. …

Doors in the house opening or closing? People passing in front of the antenna? You bobbing around on your chair in just the wrong place? That sort of thing, perhaps?

Welcome. Please head over to the Virus forum, read the first three sticky posts, and post a Hijack This Log (if you can) for diagnosis.

Is the power block warm? If not, it's failing to charge the battery and you're out of charge. Looks like some sort of pwer problem as I think you've judged. See page 15 of your manual for some guidance.

Do you see a full screen of information or is some cut off? And does it look 1024x768 what you can se8? If the latter, then, diagnosing at this distance, I'd suggest a hardware problem. If the former, then I'd suggest working backward through 800x600 to 640x480 and reporting what …

This needs professional help. It could just need cleaning out of dust that is shorting the motherboard; it could be the power supply unit is failing; it could be a capacitor or two blown on the motherboard. If you know how to do this stuff, fine - but I think …

Not enough to go on. Prolly a graphics driver problem but we need to know all about your PC and the software you are trying to run.

How's about posting an HJT log in the Virus forum? Then we can see what's going on. Perhaps read the first three stickys in that forum first.

If the phone requires, say, 3/4 amp for charging and the USB port is rated for 1/2 Amp then you might have fried something, although the system is supposed to report any power overcall on a USB port. More likely, however, is that you powered off at the moment the …

Did you search this forum for similar threads? There have been various reports and various resolutions including this one from Micrisoft: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060[/url]

[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921049/en-us[/url] Have a klook at the above link. I couldn't see anything in the HJT - but it was only a quick look.

On the info provided it seems that your problems are getting worse with time. Your system is almost certainly in an unstable state. An HJT log is essential and also famous last words about your Trend file won't be of much help; everything must be up to date.

Take the back off and see what the fans are doing when you boot, especially the CPU fan. This is a symptom of CPU overheating. Of course it could be something else but that's the starting point on the basis of what you've described. You know, plugs get pulled or …

Nope - unless you can hold of local Admin privileges. Ask your IT Admin to sort you out.

maybe one of the brainios here knows better - but it's not doable. If it's doable, it's because there is a better graphics module out there with the same form factor and interface. Then there's integration with the motherboard, the BIOS (prolly the lesser problem) and so on. There are …

If a blue screen on boot isn't due to malware, then it's usually due to a timing glitch between a driver and a Windows kernal process. The confounding thing is that the BSOD often doesn't stay long enough for its info to be captured. Once we have that info diagnosis …

First of all my private advice - DUMP NORTON AV. When it goes wrong in update it drags a lot with it. Loads of problems based on this sort of issue. Second, I recommend you reinstall ATL.DLL; this link may be helpful. [url]http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?atl[/url] Third, use anything loved on this forum …

Assuming you have no router, it may be that the other end, the ISP, has set some policies to prevent what you're doing. I would have thought that if you come out of the cable modem into the switch and then distribute to two PCs, you wouldn't need to do …

I feel sorry when there is no reply to a questionof this sort. I don't pretend to be expert on this particular Video card so I can only offer generic advice. As I understand your problem, when you go back to original configuration/video card all is well and your PC …

We don't know as we can't see the screen you were offered. My advice to you is to have nothing to do with it and keep your system safe. If you don't get standard options don't expect proper behaviour.

I'm bothered by c:\windows\mrofinu1044.exe . Does that file have any author's signaure? When did it appear? At the same time as the trojan? Be suspicious of that file and any file of similar/identical size created within a few seconds of its creation time if that coincided with your trojan.

What is displayed on the screen at power up? You haven't said - you only mentioned the beep. Does the keyboard flash?

A HijackThis log would be helpful.

[QUOTE=Scottflyer;482457].... Can anyone shed some light on this?[/QUOTE] Not easily without your HJT log and preferably configuration details. Did you try Windows Repair from the CD? Usually though a trojan sets itself into the registry and gets something going each time you start up. So there's a lot of rigmarole …

You've been infected with Vundo. Browse this forum and follow any thread dealing with Vundo. That'll tell you what tools you'll need and how to fix it. Alternatively there's my famous method posted 03-Sep-07 (search under the mis-spelt term "Vitunonde") which is a step by step guide; you'll need a …

Your PC ought to have had a restore disk with it or an OEM Windows disk (with the correct drivers). You can try a repair with an XP disk - anything can happen - but if the PC can be online at the same time, then it can try and …

Saerch the forum on 3GB and you'll find a full debate on the subject. You can use up to 4GB in XP 32. Use of the /3GB switch has to be thought about. Also google /3GB and you'll get the full skinny. You may also get wise sages on this …

This is bad news, I'm afraid. I don't believe that you avoid a re-build and I'll tell you why. You can check this trojan (wsnpoem.exe) in Google and you'll see what it can do and the HJT log tells us what it has done already. Even if you can fully …

Your HJT log shows EXPLORER.EXE as running. What can you tell us about that? And what is your …

As I said in my response to your other post, more info needed about your configuration. On the scant info provided, could be graphics driver problem.

[QUOTE=JAJansenJr;473056]It seems to be jumping around all over the place. Usage shows anything from 14% to 100%. The usage graph shows a series of jagged spikes. JAJansenJr [email]JAJansenJr@gmail.com[/email][/QUOTE] I've been following this thread since it started and I'm amazed you haven't been asked to list the, say, top 5 processes …

Having looked at your HJT and noting that you use the Asian character sets (conime.exe) my first instinct is to recommend examination of what's running in Task Manager. Sort by CPU usage in Processes and let us know the top 5 by CPU usage when the PC is running slow. …

What's running (Task Manager/Processes) when you try to shut down? Not the whole list but the top 5 in CPU usage order? Is there any externally attached hardware (in case there's an interrupt held)? Is it on a Latitude docking station? It puzzles me that you can't just switch off …

I think you should read the first three posts in the Virus forum and then post a HJT log into that forum with a restatement of the problem.

What like we're your flunkies or something? You should tell us your symptoms, what tools you have used to detect malware and the results. So I've got my opinion on your HJT log. What's your story then there'll be more from this side! Shalom.

You are in any case sharing bandwidth across several machines. Is your worry about the drop from 100Mb per wired link to 54Mb wireless across all links? My instinct would be to put the router into bridge mode and leave the rest as is.

There are many "won't boot" threads in this forum. The best way of dealing with them is hope that a Windows REPAIR from the CD sorts it out.
