View Full Version : Slow machine, reboot prompts, and agent.exe hogs resources.

My computer has been running very slow. Task manager shows 55% or so CPU usage when I have no programs open. Two things I have noticed are that
1) Every time I boot I get a message that a program has not finished installing and asking if I want to restart, and
2) agent.exe takes up a lot of my CPU resources (usually around 25%) and restarts itself instantly after every time I terminate it.

Here are my logs:

Hi,


1) Every time I boot I get a message that a program has not finished installing and asking if I want to restart
Is it some specific program in question? Please give the exact message. Post also a fresh dds.txt log.

I don't know which program is causing the message to appear. The message is: (Title, exact punctuation which I thought was odd) "Restarting your computer is required" (and body,) "The computer must be restarted before updating can continue. Would you like to restart now?"

I have shutdown and restarted the computer on multiple occasions since I first noticed this message, including using this specific prompt, but the message always comes back up when the computer starts up.

Fresh DDS log, and Attach.zip:

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

Could you try to kill ISUSPM.exe process instances first and then all agent.exe instances?

Could you try to kill ISUSPM.exe process instances first and then all agent.exe instances?

Yes. They're both closed now. Thank you.

Hi,

Was that helpful action? Please try to reboot and see if same issue returns.

shewho
2010-08-07, 04:08
No, I'm sorry. I'm still getting the same message when I boot.

Hi,

Let's disable the related program from launching on startup:
1. Click start->run->type msconfig.exe and press enter.
2. Click on startup tab and uncheck ISUSPM. Click ok.

Reboot and see if issue still occurs (post back a fresh dds.txt log if it does).

shewho
2010-08-08, 05:49
No, I'm sorry. I'm still getting the message when I boot up. Neither ISUSPM, nor Agent.exe are running though. DDS attached. Thank you very much.

Hi,

I made some researching and seems that problem may be related to Adobe updater. Could you uninstall all Adobe related entries in add/remove programs and reboot to see if issue still exists? You may reinstall needed ones after that.

I did this, and reinstalled the Adobe software that I needed and this seems to have solved the problem. The two programs we discussed earlier are not coming up, and I'm not getting the installation notification on startup. I really, really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much! :-)

Good to hear that :)

Please find some final steps below.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis


UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:

The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

hosts file:
Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html)
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then double-click it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok
Download and run Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/) and fix its findings.



Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade :cool:

Ok, I've updated all of the above, and run Secunia, and fixed all of it's findings. Rebooted and re-ran Secunia. It's still coming up w/ a security threat for Google Chrome 3.x. I'm currently running v. 5.0.375, and it says it's up to date. Do you know what I should do to resolve this?

Thanks. <3

Hi,

That's probably a vulnerability that doesn't have a patch available yet. Only thing you can do now is to not access unknown sites with Chrome. The browser will update itself when the patch is available.

I'm sorry... How do I tell if a site is classified as "unknown"?

Unknown = site you're not familiar with
