Hi, So my computer's been running kinda slow lately, and it even shut down (I assume due to overheating) while playing Starcraft 2 yesterday. So I'm thinking I either have a virus, spyware, or just too many processes. I attached a picture of my current processes, so can someone tell me what...

Well, this one is a bit perplexing. On startup this svchost process will start and run for approx 5 to 10 min. I am completely unable to access the internet until it stops.

For some reason, if I drop an file, any type, on my desktop, the same file appears in my "my music" folder. If I delete the file in either location, they are both deleted. I have scanned my computer with Microsoft Security Essentials as well as Avast, and no viruses have been found. I also...

I have been attempting to uninstall Avast 5 from my PC and Avast recommends doing this from Win 7 Safe Mode! I went into Safe Mode and it will not accept my password (I know it is correct!) and then restarts back into Safe Mode asking me for my password again. If I am slow in entering the...

So last night I couldn't sleep and decided to log back onto my Acer to surf the web when I found 32-bit IE didn't work. It locks up instantly and can only be closed by ending the process from the process list in the task manager. 64-bit IE still works. Firefox and Opera both don't work. I'd be...

I am sorry to be so vague, but my laptop has started to do some strange things. I have been informed twice now since Saturday, by friends, that the e-mails that I have sent have been totally unreadable. They have been described as being in code? Yesterday morning I sent a single e-mail and...
