Computer Freeze/Lockup

Post by Roger Shackelton »

On Wednesday I deleted 14 worm infections on my computer.(KLEZ worm) Since deleting the worm my computer acts sluggish and I am experiencing many lockups that can only be cleared by shuting off the computer.
Alt. + Ctrl + Delete does not work.

Any suggestions on how to cure this problem?

Roger,

What operating sytem are you running?

Have you done a complete scan of your pc?

I would recommend a complete scan of your c:\ drive and maybe you might have one lurking in the background somewhere.

What are the specs of your PC, Pentium I, II, III

Ram? 128, 256? 64?

HD size? 10 GB? 20 GB?

Hello Mark,

I am running Windows 95. My Ram is 64. I bought this computer in 1997 and the HD drive is about 2.5 GB.

I will do another scan and see what I find.
