The problem is that quickbooks started running really slow. In looking at the task manager almost everything is in the 30000k and over range. All my other computers are showing in the hundreds or 1000's so I am hoping that it is some kind of malware. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I've seen something similar to this, when I had a client using 3 machines networked and all accessing one shared QB company file

-The owner never did QB Updates, and at some point two of the computers had run the Updates, the last had not, and would hardly function until that was done.

Had to connect to the Internet on each machine and update separately.

If that is not your situation, then have you gotten any Updates for each local machine?

Or maybe, that one that is sluggish> was it perhaps updated...with a bad result?

Edit> Don't seen anything malwareish in the HJT log

[Saling4]

Thanks byteman. I will try the update thing. Still don't understand the Taskmanager memory being so hihg.

[Byteman]

I'm suspecting the program trying to either connect to the Internet for whatever purpose....they have to, just to check for Updates...let alone to get them

Something may be blocking the connection, we see this a lot with the increase in security these days.

Seems like you would know how to look for that, I think either Windows Firewall or any other third party firewall or protective program you might be using could do it.

A Proxy connection might also. Usually you would not see that large a statistic though so I am not sure by any means.
