hello my computer freezes at random times - mainly after about four hours now.

i thought it was because of my out-dated hardware drivers (graphics card and monitor) but the upgrade did not fix it. ive used trojan hunter, ewido, spybot and avg to scan and it found many viruses all of which were cleaned up, i think, so i thought that was the end of it. however, the problem still persists.

im now thinking its because my computer is overheating - GPU at 84C (183F), GPU Memory 31C (88), HDD 38C (102F). i think the GPU is too hot which could make my comp freeze.

after my comp freezes the BIOS pages have wierd white lines which is a sign my computer wont load to the windows. i must go to safe mode and reset so the lines go away and i can go inot windows.

i also have the blackworm, winfixer, winantivirus pop ups even though i thought they were gone with the viruses.

Hi again.

Please run a scan with HijackThis and check the following objects for removal:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {20EC3D2D-33C1-4C9D-BC37-C2D500688DA2} - (no file)
F3 - REG:win.ini: run=
O2 - BHO: DAPBHO Class - {0096CC0A-623C-4829-AD9C-19AF0DC9D8FE} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\DAP\DAPIEBAR.DLL (file missing)

Now close ALL other open windows except for HijackThis and hit FIX CHECKED. Please reboot.

Please copy the following text in the quotebox below to a blank Notepad file. Make sure the filetype is set to "All Files" and save it as Removeservice.bat. to your desktop.

@echo off
sc stop "Service Hosts"

Yep, looks clean to me

First priority: Install Service Pack 2 by visiting WindowsUpdates. After you have installed it, reboot, download & install ALL the available critical updates. Then some more preventive maintenance:

Please read here how to clear old restore points and create a new one.

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

Detect and Remove Programs:

• How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

Prevention Programs:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed. (My favourite)
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

Other necessary Programs:

• AntiVirus Program <= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kaspersky, this is a must have.
• Firewall <= A firewall is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
• More Secure Browser <= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
So how did I get infected in the first place? (My favourite)
