@Brian A. ...I already have Ad-Aware SE, updated to the latest definitions
(SE1R121-28.08.2006), I run a scan every week and I get nothing apart from
cookies... I have already used HijackThis, there is nothing in there that is
not normal. The processes running are the expected ones, nothing unknown or
unexpected. I dont have Spybot Search & Destroy, do you really think it makes
such a huge difference?

Not huge, but it can be said that Ad-aware and SB S&D compliment each other, since each may/can/do find things the other didn't.

Hello,
Before I analyze my problem I would like to say that I have read
numerous posts over the internet about DirectDBNotifyWndProc. None of
them can even come close to what I have to deal with.
I have been experiencing a problem that its becoming more and more
annoying. My PC runs fine except this process. No, I dont have
shutdown problems or similar kinds of behaviour. What I have is this
DirectDBNotifyWndProc appearing all the sudden, out of nowhere. This
thing appears for like 1 second, ALWAYS at the taskbar and straight
after it disappears! It runs numerous times, in a random sequence. I
get no other notification, I dont even find anything relative at my
logged events. I dont know what kicks this process, believe me I have
tried a lot. Now, since the PC is located in an office and there are
various of
programs running (like a business administration program), it becomes
annoying through the following way. Whenever it runs at the taskbar,
my PC returns to desktop and I have to get back to the program I was
using through the taskbar. Yeah, in a way it minimizes my running
applications when it runs.
What can it be? How am I going to find out what causes it to run
and then disappear? Can that be realtive to some possible malfunction
or some virus-spyware?
Can that also be relative to another problem I face which has to do
with the same computer when dialing and connecting to the internet?
As soon as I connect, everything freezes for an unknown amount of
time. Usually in like 5-10 minutes, nothing works. I see apps running
in the taskbar but they dont disappear even when I manage to close
them. Yes, in some, like Outlook Express, I can close the app, but
Internet Explorer, I can only minimize. Outlook still shows in the
taskbar like whatever was running PRIOR to connecting, EVEN if I
managed to close them. Other things I noticed are the following.
1. Taskbar, Quick Launch, the icons to the right of the taskbar, all
frozen.
2. Desktop (I get there ONLY with Alt+Tab) has clickable shortcuts
but even though you click on them, nothing makes to to run.
3. Alt+Ctrl+Del doesnt respond, even though you see the 3D mouse
"working"
4. Upon connection the PopUp window that says "Connected to xxx
provider" freezes and stays semi-transparent until computer manages
to get out of this stage.
5. My Computer shortcut is the only one that responds.

When the computer exits this freeze, every shortcut I have clicked
on, all the Ctrl+Alt+Del attempts, generally everything I have been
doing while it was frozen, starts appearing all together, very fast,
then the computer is fine and I can continue working on it without
any further problems! If I disconnect and try to reconnect, I usually
have less chances of being frozen again, because most of the times it
connects without freezing, although there were times it froze again.

I wonder if anyone can help in the entire matter as a whole or
separately in the 2 serious problems I face.

Thanks!

P.S. Greetings to you PABear, hope you remember me! :)
