Really weird errors...

[Guest]

Ok, recently, after at least 1 year of problem-free performance, my computer
has started acting strangely.

1) I can't seem to right-click in explorer. It crashes everytime I try.

2) My main (OS) drive, D:, keeps losing disk space rapidly, without me doing
anything. For example, if I leave it on for a few hours, it would be at 0MB
and ask me to restart.

3) Things installed on the D: drive act strangely, sometimes they work, at
other times, they dont.

4) My computer has recently been freezing more than usual (it is certain to
freeze if left on all night), and I dont think its overheating (i run the
comp w/ the panel off)

5) I have used both Adaware and Spybot, with no hits, so i dont think its
spyware

6)I'm desperate

Thanks for listening, I'd really appreciate any help at all on one or more
of these problems. Thank you.

All are signs of infection by viruses and spyware.

Might try a comprehensive scan at www.trendmicro,com No charge and really
good for checking for any and all intrusion programs.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled
