    Hey man Im new here, nice to be among you peeps. Anyway Im haveing a error sign pop up while Im online.. I'll be online then all of a sudden the screen goes blue giveing me a error saying I have low system resources. After that I have to restart because everything is frozen or working poorly. I have tried a number of things to fix this. I ran my registry cleaner, I cut off all the programs I didnt need in start up (at least I think I did). I deleted on my windows Temp Files, Did full maintanince on my machine like defrag and scan disk and so on. This is the second time this has happen I restored my whole computer a couple of days ago for the same reason and still this happens. Also the newest software I have downloaded was Yahoo Messenger and there toolbar and everything else they throw into the mix. Im running out of solutions here and going madd.. Anyway below is some info on my pc if ya need. Thank you and I would appreciate your help..

    Download and run SpyBot and allow it to delete what it finds.

    Run this Online Virus Check

    If you still have the problem, download and run HiJackThis and Copy/paste the log it creates, back here in a Reply.

    Hey man I did all the tings u told me to do, the spybot found some trash that I deleted. And the Virus scanner found 3 trojans which I got rid of. But still I think my resources are being ate up bad. Im not sure, but is 62% system resources good after I restart computer. If not I also copy and pasted the hijack this log below.

    You've still got too many programs loading during startup and running in the background. This is a primary reason for low resources and slow performance. Other than

    ScanRegistry

    SystemTray

    StateMgr

    Entries pertaining to the antivirus program

    Windows ME needs very few other programs, if any, to be loading during startup and running in the background.

    You can probably uncheck and disable most all of the other programs, but the only way to make sure is to research them with the 4 sites that are listed in my MSCONFIG article. The Pac's Portal site is about the best and most detailed site of the 4 sites listed.

    You also have some AdWare running.

    Run HJT again, select the following items and have HJT delete them.
