Solve : Serious memory leak, explorer/system? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Malware-wise, the log looks clean.<br/><br/>Couple more suggestions...<br/><br/>1. I'd uninstall AVG, which <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/became-2464487" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BECAME">BECAME</a> quiet a hog. Switch to something lighter, like Avast, or Avira. If you decide to do so, make sure, you use <strong>AVG Remover</strong>: <a href="http://www.avg.com/download-tools">http://www.avg.com/download-tools</a><br/><br/>2. Uninstall Spybot altogether, or at least permanently disable TeaTimer, which is known for hogging computers.<br/><br/>3. You need to update Java:<br/>Please download <a href="http://raproducts.org/click/click.php?id=1"><strong>JavaRa</strong></a> to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder<br/></p><ul><li>Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.<br/></li><li>Accept any prompts.</li><li>Open JavaRa.exe again and select <strong>Search For Updates</strong>.<br/></li><li>Select <strong>Update Using Sun Java's Website</strong> then click Search and click on the <strong>Open Webpage</strong> button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer. </li></ul><strong>Note 1</strong>: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.<br/><br/><strong>Note 2</strong>: The <strong>Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe)</strong> adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. If you don't want to run another extra service, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and restart your computer.<br/><br/>4. You have unnecessary startups, so for me to see them better...<br/><br/>Download <strong>HijackThis</strong>:<br/><a href="http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download">http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download</a><br/>by clicking on <strong>Download HijackThis Installer</strong><br/>Install, and run it.<br/>Post HijackTHis log.<br/>Do <strong>NOT</strong> attempt to fix anything!<br/><br/><br/><br/>Ok, I'll take care of it come morning; I can't stand teatimer, never was installed with spybot, I'll take care of AVG, and I have used HJT before, so I know what to look for, just only got rid of infected BS that the virus(s) left. And I'm thinking java may have been the culprit, I remember I got the infection right after using a java web page...I saw TeaTimer running.<br/>You can safely uninstall whole Spybot. It's a tool of the past anyway.<br/><br/>Odd, I opted out for teatimer. SuperAntiSpyware it is then. It did the memory leak a couple minutes <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ago-362350" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AGO">AGO</a>, it was going about 30K/second on explorer and nothing was showing up right on the taskbar or anything. Restart <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fixed-245605" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIXED">FIXED</a> it fine.Free version of Superantispyware doesn't give you real time protection, so when you install it, make sure, it's not installed as a startup.<br/>Check HJT, and you may see <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/two-241629" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TWO">TWO</a> entries, one O4 (startup), and one O20 (service).<br/>Disable both.I finally said "F" it, I couldn't even get explorer to load properly, kept crashing so I started over. I'm using different set ups with more security so this kind of thing doesn't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/happen-1015459" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HAPPEN">HAPPEN</a>. That and stop using the thing for more than a server comp. Thnx again guys!You're welcome <br/>Don't forget to get mote RAM.Money is a little tight, just bough a terabyte hdd too for my media center, was getting a little full on the 320 But definitely is coming up</body></html> | |
