Hi gang, i have a Problem. It's an intermittent thing, but for some reason my incoming network traffic starts running at maximum speed (despite me downloading nowt) every so often, making it so slow i can't even load bloody google. I smell something virusish about the whole affair but the latest update of AVG isn't picking anything up. I don't think it's a broadband thing, it used to happen on dialup too, although less frequently. Even stopping all traffic in kerio firewall doesn't make a difference. And you cannae see which process is using all the bandwidth, there's nothing there... apart from when i unplug the network cable and stick it back in, a process comes up under svchost.exe called "bootpc", running at hella speed, and then promptly disappears. I'm rather stumped here, would appreciate any assistance. Ta. (btw, apologies if i can't reply straight away, when my connection goes screwy i can only load about 1 page in 20) |

spybot looks for adware, blah blah... stored in your pc hijackthis checks running processes... save a log file, and paste it .. then remove whatever seems to be wrong |

I've used both for a while now my man, removed navwindows.exe with HijackThis as i've seen it come up as trojan-related at some point. I'm still waiting to see if it has any effect, like i say the problem is intermittent so it's a bit of a cunt to diagnose. Ta though, i know that's the standard response innit :) Razorblade: Nope, no special filters or anything (mainly because i'm not entirely sure how to use them) |

if it's windows you're using... the best problem solver = backup+format+re-install xD |

If i haven't managed to sort this out in a day or two i shall be doing just that. Probably needs it by this point anyway, haven't done the reformat/reinstall thing in more than a year. It seems alright for the minute, i'll try to bump this if things go tits up again. Sorry to pester people but i hate fumbling in the dark. |

write down the entire list of memory resident programs and systematically go through them, using google if necessary to check exactly what they all do. something may have (and this is quite common) attached itself to your startup list. this willl not be detected with avg spybot or ad-aware. get some utility if necessary so you can see the whole startup list. i use regcleaner (it has this built in as one of its functions). |

It's the first thing i do when any shite like this crops up mate, i can't see anything out of the ordinary in the memory resident stuff, unless one of the normal background processes has been overwritten. Thing is, i've tried ending process on even the system processes that i thought might have been replaced, didn't make a blind bit of bastard difference. The only thing that looks even slightly dodgy in regcleaner was c:\windows\updreg.exe, but apparently that's something to do with creative labs soundcards, to remind you to register or some such fuckery. Bit of a headscratcher. |
