Hope this was the right forum to post to. Hard Drives: C: Total - 24583 MB, Free - 4350 MB D: Total - 51764 MB, Free - 48107 MB Īntivirus: avast! Antivirus, Updated: Yes, On-Demand Scanner: Enabled Graphics Card: Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller, 64 Mb
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz, x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3, 32 bit Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2 Please, help me find what could be wrong! Avast is the only program that I've installed recently. I ran a scan with MalwareBytes and nothing came up as infected.Īvast's own scans (quick and full scans, did both) show no infections. After restart, the system restore still has only a restore point of the current day only and none in the past. Sometimes the lock up also locks up MS Word 2007, not allowing to save.Īfter restart the Autiosave copy does not open.Īlso, System Restore does not work any more(does not create any system restore points) and Task manager also won't respond during the lock up.
For example, if I am chatting in MSN, the window would turn blank(none of the chat text visible), Firefox also goes blank, nothing responds untill I turn off the power.
Īfter that, the computer freezes up at regular intervals. It was not a usual virus definition update but one that required a restart. A few days ago, Avast Free prompted me to update to the new version of the program.
