    I thought you had asked about running SpyBot and elevated rights?

    I don't know whats happened to IE. The below link is a good read, look it over and see if this will help.

    All my scans with Spybot were from safe mode.

    Since it's Spybot running from safe mode, and keeps finding these temp files, for right now post in the http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?4-Spybot
    Let's see if they can answer why these temp files keep spawning.

    As for malware related, I don't think so.

    Let me know if your ready to remove disinfect tools and quarantine folders., then I can share preventive tips.

    Default Back again

    Hello again

    The cause of the lag I was feeling I suspect was due (rather embarrassingly) to me and how I had set up my email server (mercury/32)

    My server was setup as a relay... I had over 280,000 jobs to complete, outstanding... then later... I had issues with my recycle bin.... without thinking that the files would take a while to delete. (doh)

    Seems to be ok now... there was an issue with some flash applications.... causing a error box to come and report an error on line... I have disabled active x filtering and that seems to have sorted it. Sorry I cannot tell you more... there was one of these tic boxes there to stop it coming up again and I used it :(

    I don't think theres anyone out there who knows absolutely everything. When it comes to computers there is something in the 'always need to know' category.

    Let's remove tools and quarantine folders.

    DelFix
    • Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.
    • Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
    • Place a checkmark next to the following items:
      • Activate UAC
      • Remove disinfection tools
      • Create registry backup
      • Purge system restore

    • Click the Run button.

    -- This will remove the specialised tools we used to disinfect your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete).

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Your good to go!

    Thanks again

    I really have been a fool over this whole thing... :(

    In the middle of all this I noticed that my PC was almost out of space.... My PF was auto managed and was up at 64GB... some resetting later and is back at a more acceptable 6GB and yes I have some space again.

    I then noticed that my iexplorer.exe 32 in the task manager was always increasing... and when it got to 600,000k + I was getting the flash errors.

    When I noticed the issue of files not being deleted I tried a number of applications to find any problems. Super Anti Spyware was one. During some clean boot testing I noticed the SAS core was responsible Uninstalled SAS and seem to be a getting constant memory size.

    I sincerely thank you for all your efforts and tolerance.

    Today... I think I was a bit hasty in blaming SAS core as im up at 600,000+k again :(

    I had this tab and 2 other open
    When I close the other 2 tabs that I had open this page apparently takes up 200,000+k

    Agghhhhhhhhh..... maybe im one of those people that should not be allowed near a computer :headshot:
