I don't know how to best describe this process but I'll try. I had some malware or something on my system recently that caused my browser to redirect to other internet sites. I 'fixed' this issue with some help from this forum, but now I'm having a problem where my computer keeps freezing whenever I leave it idle for a few minutes. All I've been running recently is Firefox, Itunes, and Microsoft word, so I'm not sure if the problem lies in any of these programs. After I reboot my computer, it seems to work fine, but after an hour or so, usually after left unattended for a few minutes, the screen freezes, and while the mouse is responsive, i can't get any of my windows to open. I've noticed that several times my word documents were in the process of autosaving. Also, the last freeze was different, as I kept getting notices that individual programs had stopped working and were shutting down. First was some sort of Cyber program which I had never heard of or used, next why my internet card, then I basically had to manually shut down my system. I'm in the middle of taking exams for school and this issue could not come at a worse time as I cannot run the risk of my computer shutting down in the middle of an exam.

If anyone has any idea of what to do please let me know.

Leave the computer idle for an hour, or so, with no programs open and see what happens.
