Please try the following.
1) Download the following three items...
McAfee Stinger
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
Latest Trend signature files.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")
Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt375.zip
Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
SYSCLEAN.COM.
2) Disable System Restore

3) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
4) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Stinger, perform a Full Scan of your
platform and clean/delete any infectors found
5) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using both.
6) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
(e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
7) Reboot your PC.
8) Create a new Restore point

This is a random occurrence and there's nothing I | can readily pinpoint as the reason - just a random lockup. I have run | Spybot, Ad-aware, complete virus scans, done chkdsk, removed unecessary | startup items, run winoptimizer, deleted original system administrator and | created new profile. I also use ZoneAlarm Pro for a firewall. I seem to | notice it happening often when I'm onlinr but can't say for sure that | could be the root cause. I invariably open task manger now and keep an eye on | the cpu usage to try and see when it spikes and then freezes at 99-100%. | Again, when it does, it shows that percentile under processes and | attributable to System and not System Idle. This is really driving me buggy, | I would appreciate any help. Many thanks.
