recently my pc has been complaining (much too frequently) of running low on virtual memory, or that the paging file is too low. in effect most apps would abruptly shut down, or end up unable to perform the simplest tasks(file save, cd-burning) because, they say, they don't have sufficient memory to execute the operation. ran all the programs in the malware intro page, but all found my system clean(some of them did find some traces of spyware/trojan thingies, but mostly minor ones they were able to remove).

tried running SECURITY TASK MANAGER and found one suspicious process with a threat level of 97-- dnssvc.exe. so i removed it from my startup list, and so far everything's been working perfectly. no more memory problems. haven't tried restarting though.

what i'd really like help on is to COMPLETELY remove this program from my system, since it's only been quarantined. looking in the system folders even with 'show hidden folders' on comes up empty. any ideas? thanks... and great site! i've only been here two days and i've learned a lot.
