Hi
I had posted a log from Hijackthis and it was said to be clean. I thought I would post here to see if anyone had a similar problem.
I have been working on the In-laws system. They use Dialup service because thats all they have in their area. The main complaint was the system somtimes froze up when they went online. Especially after they had let the system fall to sleep and later in the day they went to log online again. It would connect but then freeze up. Only choice was to power off and start over.
I did some clean up. No spyware or virus.
I have Cable so I hooked it up and the system runs great. The problem never occured. Its only when you dial up. I uninstalled and reinstalled their dial up. It seems like it improved some. But maybe its wish full thinking. Back a few months ago they added this accelerater provided by their provider. I did unistall it to see if it was the culprit but its not.
What I do notice is when you do a restart or shutdown a series of End now boxes pop up. I see their provider I have seen ctfmon I see one for IE,nortons and yahoo. You dont have to click end now it just flashes by and continues to whatever you have chosen to do.
Other wise the computer runs just fine. I did not see a need to totally wipe it out. Its just a problem when you dial up and its only after you let the system go into to sleep mode.
My thing is why are these end now boxes poping up? How do I stop that? It could be the problem.
They are running XP
Thanks
