Spyware Warrior

[Cryer]

Here's the deal:
My brother told me this ('cause he's on it before I "jump in"), and I had my first day experiencing this. And it started on Tuesday the 29th, by the way.

For some reason, when I start up my computer and it gets to the desktop, my avast anti-virus takes about 10 mins to start spinning (meaning starting to work). Once that starts, it takes another 20 mins to get all 6 providers on the avast to get started, and once that is done, it is finally followed by MSN so I can finally start my surfing around.

Why is it like this? Is it a avast problem? Could someone help me on this?

Also, I will provide an hijackthis log if needed.

Are you on dialup and only have 256MB of ram? If not, I would guess you have some serious spyware/viruses slowing it down. Better post the log, imo.

cryer,

You need to start a new topic in the HijackThis logs forum and post your log there. The helpers don't look for logs in this forum. And when you post there, turn off work wrap -- it makes the log really hard to read.

I just did last night. So please, could someone help me out on this?

[suzi]

You have to wait your turn, just like everyone else.

Also, I see you replied to your own topic. You are not supposed to do that because the helpers look for topics with 0 replies to see who needs help.

On my crappy, 128 MB RAM computer, it doesn't take more than 5-6 minutes to load with Avast! Spyware problems then.
