suddently got an error message today. computer said my virual memory was low. bullshit. i've got 896 mb RAM. No way am i using it all. i run a few checks, and found out the svchost.exe is killing my box. at one time it sucked up to 1.5 GB of RAM!!! I don't have any viruses...defs are up to date and no viruses found. i ran a blaster tool, and no blaster found. my hard drive light is constandly flashing, and my memory is being sucked up. ideas/help/anything???? I do know computers pretty well, but this has me puzzled. originally posted in computer networkign area, but doesnt 'appear to have gotten any traffic. I'm pulling my hair out here. |

norton says my machine is fine, and so did adaware. I removed the directory, and all seems good. However, none of the registry keys are present that sould be. apparently that directory belongs to "Specter" keylogger. But, like stated, i found no other telltale signs(registry, DLL's, etc). hmm....interesting to say the least. Thanks for the help! If i can ever return the favor, let me know. Fellas, drinks are on me!
