OK so I've done the obvious here - deep scan in safe mode for viruses (using
Computer Associates AV) and deep scan for SpyWare and Malware using Adaware
SE and SpyBot (which found DyFuCa which I removed from the reg file etc.) but
I have the following problem:
When I log into my machine (which BTW is fairly new) it will boot up all the
apps but then I'll click "start" and it stops responding. I then have to hard
shut down and reboot. But you see, it doesn't always do this.
Sometimes, it will boot up and if I wait a couple of mins will let me open
applications. Then occasionally I'll try and save, or open a file (in no
particular program) and it stops responding. All the apps go white and I just
get the window boarder. ALT+CTRL+DEL brings up the task manager, but it wont
end any tasks. If I leave it for a couple of minutes it eventually sorts
itself out and allows me to cintinue, until the next time it randomly decides
to stop responding again.
I have not installed new apps, have tried regclean, hijack this and deep
scanning in safe mode but I cant shift this error. Any ideas?
Running SP2 and up to date.
