What's happening? Blue screens? The CRSSSSSSH screens? Not starting? Overheating? Somebody set us up the bomb? Wrench in the works? Ghost possessing it? It's secretly an etch-and-sketch and your parents haven't told you yet? We need details.

It begins with a ring-leader; in this case Bob "Flaming Carrot" Burden. "We'll make history, lads" he enthues "The first up-tempo, now, 1980's, happening kind of comic book artists to ever draw on a girl's legs in a strange hotel room".

Check the taskbar if you have a lot of background software running, also check Task Manager (Right-click on the taskbar -> 'Start Task Manager'), click the "Processes" tab in Task Manager. Sort by memory usage (most to least), and check if anything uses like 150,000k (if you have an older computer of some sort).

My scan tells me there is one problem. Just doesn't tell me what it is. Should I quarantine or trust?Port_A_Build wrote:Virus scan. Spyware scan.

What's the name? Will probably be something like "Win32/trojan.generic" or something like that, and yeah quaritine it, unless it's a PUP, then post the name of the program if you can.

Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keels. Makes her a home."

Re: About to explode.
Do what I do when my comp gets overly cluttered.
Save important files that would be excruciating to get back onto a flash drive and reset your computer to factory. (I mainly just save pictures that I can't get back)
