removing "spy sheriff"for me last november,you saved
all my personal data from ruin.my problem
is,when i go into standby through the start
menu it will come out (mouse or keyboard
movement) ok.but then i cant connect to the
internet or load any applications? when i open
the browser it shows a white screen with the
hourglass mouse pointer icon. if i start any
programs the interface will load but
not function,and even loading a notepad
document will recieve the message"WINDOWS
CANNOT LOCATE THE PATHFILENAME AND TO SEARCH
USE THE START BUTTON, THEN CLICK SEARCH.these
program windows will freeze and not close(some
will others wont leaving a fragmented screen
on the desktop) with task manager saying "not
responding". even in control panel "add
remove programs" freezes with the window
saying "wait while list is being populated".
the only way is to power off with the pc tower
button and power on, then it reboots and
everything is ok, if i power on/off or restart
trough the start menu i have no problems at
all, standby appears to be the issue.i ran
updated versions of ad-aware se, spybot
sd,ewido and my norton anti virus . they
removed some stuff and came up clean when i
used them again.could it be a spy/maleware
issue? if so ill follow your guidelines and
post a hijack log accordingly.any help on
this would be greatly appreciated.....thnx sincerly,
gmo...
