Steve's right! Great job, oh master...
Why didn't I think of that??? (Perhaps because I have no coffee in my cup
right now...?)
Here's a link to a Norton (Symantec) website search results for
"system.exe", along with all of the VARIATIONS of that virus's filename.
Steve's right-if it's a system file, it would be like "system.sys", NOT AN
EXECUTABLE (".exe") look at the size of the "system.exe" file on your system
and write down it's EXACT size by highlighting it and right-clicking on it,
then clicking on "properties".
The problem is that if you just delete the file, then the next time you boot
up, the registry keys will tell it will look for that file and if it doesn't
find it, it will go to the original file's location (hackers usually change
the original filename to disguise it), and it will copy itself right back
where it is now.
The Norton link will tell you which files to delete, and also which registry
keys it resides in and how to edit the registry keys so that it get's
eliminated completely.
But the first thing you have to do is look at the exact size (ex: 47,395
bytes) to establish which variant of the virus you have in order to use the
right "fix" according to Norton's virus removal instructions.
Here's the link to my Norton website search of "system.exe":

Great job, Steve...!

Thanks, however I don't think Sheamus is reading this, or he's
convinced that because his Malware detector doesn't show it that we're
both talking through our nether ends.
A fellow (barely) drives his car into a garage. One wheel is missing.
He says to the mechanic "There's something wrong with the car, it
handles badly and pulls to the left."
The mechanic says "well, of course, your left front wheel is missing!"
"Oh I know that, but could you find out what's wrong with the car?"

I'm surprised no one has jumped in with that reply.

What all do you have plugged into the USB ports? Is you other drive (where
you have the Pagefile going) an external hard drive?
If so, and that's where you designated the Pagefile to be, that may be why
it's locking up (doing a lot of pagefile swapping because of your limited
RAM...). Try putting the pagefile on the main C:\ drive. Set the minimum size
for at least 512MB. I set mine to 1024MB initial and 1024MB max so it stays
static.
Let me know...

There page file has already a) been moved to a separate hard drive and
b) been enlarged quite a bit.
While RAM does need increasing, I don't think thats the problem here.
It shouldn't make the USB drivers spaz out the way they have been
surely?
