I am not sure what is causing this, but I am having trouble with my computer, mostly IE. but also when I try and start paintshop pro. here is the problem. a few days ago I installed norton anti-virus, since then I have had alot of trouble running the IE without it lagging, I went to shut down my computer and one of those not responding programs had popped up, onnly the name of it was strange. should not see me. since then after 15 minutes on the internet will cause problems and I have to reboot, the program does not show up anymore, and I can not find it anywhere on the system :/ sometimes I get the virtual memory is too low message. and almost always while I am doing something online, the computer is running, even if it should not be doing anything major, it still runs, I have tried everything I know of to find the problem, Ad-aware finds nothing, spybot finds something and removes it, only to have it come back. DSO exploit, when I have it fix the problems it always comes back, I have tried finding them with no luck, any help would be appreciated [img]smile.gif[/img]

the usual information is needed like:

computer specs
and what windows system are you using..

before we can help you..

also did you do the usual stuff like spyware scanning and anti-virus scanning?

well lets see, I have given my specs enough I figured you guys would know them better than me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

system XP pro ver 2002 service pack 1
computer
intel celeron processor 1.10 ghz 128 mb ram


yes I ran all of them, and as I said spybot found the DSO exploit, but can not get rid of it permanently, norton anti-virus found some thing during first instal, but nothing since
PS thanks johnny, looking into it now [img]smile.gif[/img]

Doesn't the autoprotect function from Norton eat a lot of memory? Maybe you should try turning it off. I have other windows but it worked for me and instead of the autoprotection I just scan more frequent.

no problems. The thing with viruses is that they sometimes also corrupt your programs which try to get rid of them. (i.e your virus scanner, Spybot, adaware etc.) Thats when Housecall really comes in useful.
