Hi,

I just re-installed windows and most of my programs because of a worm I got. But now, sometimes on start up, the task bar freezes for like 5 min before I can open programs with it. I dont know why it does this. It did it before to. But, then after a few restarts, Mcafee said it found a virus and deleted it? Also, when i try to update Mcafee 2004 it says its up to date, and i just installed it, so it cant be...

My old computer would do that, ti was b/c it had a worm and tons of programs were opening in the background that couldn't been seen. It was basically overloading my computer with crap, so that it couldn't do much at all til you closed the offenders.

....aaaaah... Im getting so anoying right now. MY computer doesnt really freeze the task bar anymore, but now i cant go to alot of websites, i get errors with some programs, winamp is somehow running all of a sudden when i never even installed it, and worst, I cant visit or get Mcafee to update its definitions. It keeps saying its up to date and its not, and i dont know what to do!?

might want to try using 'hijack this' on your computer clean it out. then you should be able to run mcafee and update it. as a last resort, reformat the hdd and immeadiatly install the windows updates beofre anything else.

Well, I used that program, and its still acting wierd. My updates for Norton still wont install right, and windows task bar sits there for like 5 min on load most times. I really dont know what to do anymore.....

Sebouh

Well if its a spyware problem just use AD-Aware SE Personal, its the best.
