The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

any suggestions??
Run it a few times in safe mode. Run spy boy + adaware a couple of times, then restart in safe mode. Then run them again. If they don't clear it out, you are gonna have to use something more hitech like hijackthis or a regeditor.

You can always try this:
1) Close all programs
2) hit ctrl-alt-delete
3) click on the processes tab
The process causing your problem should be listed there. The problem is finding it. Half of them will belong to Windows and several more will likely be anti-virus stuff if you have it (I'm guessing you don't
). If you google any of those processes you find a dozen webpages telling you if they're good, bad and how to get rid of them if they are bad. You might try sorting the processes by "CPU". The problem process may be using a few clock cycles. Make sure you spell them right because many viruses name their processes to look like legit processes.
Another good option is to get a shareware program that lists all of the programs that automatically boot with each startup. It's a good way to find spyware and make your machine run better. I've used one once but I can't remember what it was called. Maybe someone else could recommend one.
Hope this helps.
