thanks for your offers of help - Unfortunately I deleted the files so cannot
send them for analysis.
I'm using another machine to post this as the problem machine ---- has
problems that make it unusable, here is a list of my observations - which
hopefully help idnetify what has happened:-
- I downloaded the BHO demon software, but found that this would not work
properly and failed.
- no matter what application I start it consumes 100% of the CPU for a long
time - without the application actually doing anything
- I notice this even when I run the command window and do a "Ping".
- the ping process consume 100% CPU for about 5 - 10 minutes, then does the
ping and repoprts back good Round trip responses to a few test web
addresses.
- I noticed that around the time of the software download , the Windows
firewall stopped and dumped a log.
- The Windows Firewall no longer works
- I downloaded Zone Alarm and find it doesn't respond - againg CPU shows
100% loading for the Zone Alarm application process.
AS said in earlier post
I ran AVG, Ad Aware and Spybot R & D whis spotted and immunized quite a few
things but I'm left with this/these problems
Appreciate any suggestions to get the machine back working again.
Thanks
