Solve : Serious memory leak, explorer/system?

1.	Solve : Serious memory leak, explorer/system?
Answer» Malware-wise, the log looks clean. Couple more suggestions... 1. I'd uninstall AVG, which BECAME quiet a hog. Switch to something lighter, like Avast, or Avira. If you decide to do so, make sure, you use AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/download-tools 2. Uninstall Spybot altogether, or at least permanently disable TeaTimer, which is known for hogging computers. 3. You need to update Java: Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions. Accept any prompts. Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates. Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer. Note 1: 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. Note 2: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) 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. 4. You have unnecessary startups, so for me to see them better... Download HijackThis: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download by clicking on Download HijackThis Installer Install, and run it. Post HijackTHis log. Do NOT attempt to fix anything! 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. You can safely uninstall whole Spybot. It's a tool of the past anyway. Odd, I opted out for teatimer. SuperAntiSpyware it is then. It did the memory leak a couple minutes AGO, it was going about 30K/second on explorer and nothing was showing up right on the taskbar or anything. Restart FIXED 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. Check HJT, and you may see TWO entries, one O4 (startup), and one O20 (service). 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 HAPPEN. That and stop using the thing for more than a server comp. Thnx again guys!You're welcome 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
