When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log tohttp://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for expert
analysis, not here.**
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

About 3 days ago my computer started acting strange... by this I
mean...
IE or FireFox (FF) hang, when "connecting" to a web page the bottom
left corner says STOP and it just continues to connect, and connect
and connect and nothing happens.
The same problem w/OE, says connecting, but can't find the email.
I have fun virus, spyware, adware and nada. I disabled the firewall to
see if it was a conflict (though it never has before) and nada.
I also either get, End Program - O which I have discovered is when you
try and shut down OE and it's not done searching for mail and/or a
XPCOM: Event Receiver error.
The computer on a router right next to this one worked fine until last
night, it started doing the same crap.
Both computers run XP Pro, w/IE, OE, FF.
Now an IT person I know offered this reason to me, that it has
something to do w/recent microsoft updates?
Problem is, I have to continuously reboot my computer in order to run
a darn thing.
Once I reboot, all programs run normally for 15 - 30 minutes and them
bam, starts all over again.
All other programs that access the net, such as Trillian, have no
connection problems, nor does the virus software. It is just in the
browswers and OE.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this, it is very annoying and a pain in
the you know what to reboot your computer every 30 minutes.- Hide quoted text -
