I have been experiencing problems for a long time such as my ram will randomly completely lock up, and i will be unable to run any new program and the programs already run start to expierence probelms, such as very very delayed typing. As i'm sure you already guess i am a Kazza user, and a heavy one at that. I believed this was a virus btu my virus scan has found nothing, but recently when i went to restart my comp when it was freezing up, i had to do it ctrl alt delete style and i noticed a trickler_3210.exe, and i was wonderin if this could be what the prob is, cuasei notice it is there whenever my comp freezes and no other time. If you have any idea please help me this is gettin very irritating. Thanks in advance

What kind of virus scanner you running, and how updated is it?

Second, goto http://www.lavasoftusa.com/downloads.html and get ad-aware...the program maybe adware, which a virus scanner often won't find...sadly

Adaware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy should get rid of that...it's a Gator component,I believe.

Run those tools, after you uninstall Kazaa.

The Kid is right.That is a component of the Gator family.Both programs he mentioned should remove it for you.I'll be willing to bet kazaa also gave you the "gift" of Brilliant Digital(BDE aka Brillaint Digital Projector)!Regards.JB

Will you stay away from Kazaa
virus sharing network.

Did not hear anything bad about WinMx.

Remember, scan everything with your anti-virus.

Good luck,
Thanks for saying thanks

I downloaded the WinMX like you recomnded and so far it seems great, i personaly like kazaa's layout better, but the fact that it made my computer seem like i got it from teh 80's i'll take the draw back, and i really apprecaite the help, and if the problem continues i will be sure to post something.
