Computer has been freezing when I try to perform various tasks. I can't run spybot because the computer freezes before it finishes the scan. Here's my hijack this log. If you can check it out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance..........

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [shell] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ibm00001.exe"
or
ibm(random 5 digit number).exe
-------------------------
boot computer into safe mode by tapping the f8 key during a restart. chsoe the safe mode option. once in safe mode see if you can find and delete this .exe:

ibm00001.exe located here>>C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
-----------------------
reboot normally, pick one or two of these for aonline scan:

I got rid of the ibm00001 like you suggested. I tried to run the online virus scans, but my computer siezed up. That's what's been driving me nuts. Its only when I try to run anti-spyware programs, virus scans, or uploading files that my computer totally seizes up. If I reboot in less than 5 minutes, it will sieze up again. So I usually have to wait 5-10 minutes before I can restart. Its driving me nuts. I've heard of people disabling hyperthreading on other versions of Windows but I'm not sure if Windows ME has hyperthreading. Its driving me crazy! Here's my new log........

hi NorthStar87,

ok, check for updates to your av etc if you can, then reboot back into SAFE MODE and run what you have in SAFE MODE. see if that works.

if Windows ME has hyperthreading
hyperthreading is a feature of the CPU, it wasnt avaliable (yet) when ME came out

2006-05-02, 18:28

It freezes in safe mode too!

hi NorthStar87,

i just noticed, i dont see a resident or active AV app on your computer. it runs in the backround all the time protecting your computer (providing you keep it updated).
do you have one? if not you can get one here:

AVG free version 7.0 (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/)

it only "freezes" when you run av or antispyware?
do you have acsess to another computer, to burn software to cd, then load it on your computer?
----------------------------------
scan with HJT, put a checkmark beside the items below, close all windows and click fix checked.
