i have been having problems with an extremely slow pc - our nephew was here and downloaded kaaza lite and downloaded who knows what - i have run adaware, spysweep, trojan remover, norton antiviurs, pandasoftware antiviurs, pcmedik, just to name a few - they find nothing but cookies...would someone who understands the hijack this log take a look at this and post any comments as to what may be the problem.....oh also i have checked for heating issues and burn in test for ram....currently is seems to be running alright, but when "it" (?) hits, it hits hard - almost impossible to load up anything........thanks in advance...

WHy not u uninstall kazaa then use system restore and use the date when ur pc was fine...its reversible process so u can always undo it if u want. to do restore click>>>start>>programs>>acessories>syetem tools>>>restore

i had the same problem...and its def not kazaa or anything else. its most probably the number of services running in wondows xp. first of all, go to www.pcpitstop.com and run a full test on ur pc and see what it says about cpu usage. after that, go to www.blackviper.com and follow his instructions how disabling useless services. ps. i had the same problem a couple of months back, esp 100% cpu usage, but after disabled a load of services, it went under 10%. good luck

i ran a check at pcpitstop and aside from a warning for a setting in ie it passed with flying colors....i did a couple of tweaks from blackviper, but i really didnt want to uninstall system restore etc. any other thoughts? thanks!
