For about two weeks now my computer has started crashing whenever I run a virus scan, go on any website with Flash or Shockwave animation, open any application or even print large documents. I was first told the problem could have been caused by the Altnet registry key, but I deleted that and I still have the problem. I've ALSO managed to run quick scans on Ad-Aware, Spyware Doctor and Norton. I don't know what I should do because if it is a virus, how do I get rid of it if virus scans crash?

Any info would be great. ThanksBefore we TALK about viruses.... Have you made any CHANGES to your system prior to this incident? Also, does your computer just freeze-up, or restart? Any error messages?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I hadn't done anything to my computer, it just started crashing. I don't get any messages, it just freezes. Ctrl, ALT + Del doesn't work, neither does Caps LOCK or anything.As far as the flash animations and such go... Have you tied updating your video card drivers?

[glb]Flame[/glb]No, because it was working fine until my computer started crashingOk... Before your system started crashing, did you make any changes to your system prior to this issue?
