My Comp keeps getting stuck....

and its getting annoying. Anyone know of any possible way to make it stop getting stuck? And although I have popup blocker I keep getting popup ads. And in my fave’s I keep getting other junk added in anyway to stop that? My comp always gets stuck what do I do???

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck…

There could be several reasons behind it!
Do you have a firewall?
Do you have anti-virus software?
Hijack it and post the log!

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck…

Sounds like a spyware/malware/junkware

run hujack this and post the log file here, so we can help you eliminate the pop ups and sucher annoyances.

If you dont know what I am talking about, get Hijackthis from here:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Its pretty much self explainatory.

You can also try booting into “SAFE MODE” and empty all ‘TEMP’ folders.

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

and in

C:\Documents and Settings{your username}\Local Settings\Temp

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

well i have ad-aware and spybot and I use both of them almost weekly. I also tried running my anti-virus...but still the samething happens. I don't know how to check for the firewall problem...so explain plz.
What exactly is spyware?

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

so u want me to list everything here? Cuz there is a lot of stuff that came up.

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

yes, you can save all that comes up. there is a button at the bottom, to save a log file. Then copy/paste that here.

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck…

It all saved on notepad and its really long…but here it is:

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

Is lsass.exe ......

The SasserWorm?

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

^ no clue

Re: My Comp keeps getting stuck....

Its actually a system process of the Microsoft Windows security mechanisms. It specifically deals with local security and login policies. But, it also can be sasser.worm. Depend on where its located, if its located in c:\windows\System32 then its not, otherwise it is.
