Hi Teedawg,

Welcome to PCHF. We have a very talented team of techs here, and I am sure we can help you to resolve this.

Can you please tell me why you are unwilling to restart your computer?

Are you referring to a Personal Sony Playstation? (Just checking)

Is this something that just suddnely occured?

Please carefully follow the instructions for PreWork in my signature, making sure to save the ewido log to post back here along with the HijackThis log.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

Have you tried running "The Ultimate Troubleshooter"? (You can download a free trial I believe).

You might be surprised at the number of things actually running or at least walking <g> in the background that don't appear when you CTRL>ALT>DEL - which in theory tells you those things.

I had a similar problem only last week and TUT told me that there were three copies of my DVD authoring program gently chuntering away behind the scenery, preventing me from deleting a file ("Cannot delete - file being used for another program...").

CTRL>ALT>DEL showed nothing about it!

Hey Teedawg,

I need to ask, you'd be amazed what people have told me they want to do, or not do. LOL.

OK, yes, I'd like you to follow the instructions for PreWork in my signature. Post back both the ewido and the HijackThis log. If you currently have HJT installed, make sure it is the current version.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

@Genie, thanks for the info
@Datastream, thanks for chipping in to help, I will be interested in checking out that program. LGW
