Re: Help!, freezing and restarting

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?


Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
1.36 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay).
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

Run Malwarebytes' in safe mode and turn off your current anti-virus
before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web
site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a
helpful utility.

Hi,
I have a serious problem that started yesterday. My gf was watching
some shows on Hoola. An hour or so later i checked on the computer and
it was frozen. I restarted the PC but now it just constantly freezes
if I try to click on any icon or randomly rebbots if i just sit
watching it. I left overnight and tried again this moring, but it was
doing teh same thing and won't let me boot into Safe Mode! (which it
allowed me to do last night)

I have a custom built PC that hasn't given me any problems for 2 years
now. Its running Windows XP. The only changes I have made in the last
few days was to add an Ethernet Splitter to the cable outlet. Other
than that, only my gf looking at shows on Hoola (for the first
time)...she claims she didn't download anything, but I dunno!!

I see some other posts like this one but I am not even able to stay on
the PC for more than a minute before it crashes and I can't run my
virus scanner as it freezes before it completes. Any help would be
most welcome!
