Firefox hanging
This started yesterday. Firefox hangs, using 50-60% CPU and no network
activity. I restored the C drive and MBR from a week ago (Aconis image) and it got better for a little while but it was back. Then I tried refreshing Firefox, same thing, OK for a while then it started slowing down again. There is no particular page activity. Event recorder shows this Warning TCP/IP has reached the security limit... Error ...DCOM got error the service cannot be started because it is not enabled or no enabled devices attempting to start gupdate with argument /comsvc Another alarming info message is remote console app started. I thought I had that turned off. To make matters worse Internet Exploder is broke too so I don't really have a way of comparing them. IE8 says it thinks I have a firewall setting wrong but I turned Norton and Window firewall off still no joy. I am starting to think I have been hacked or that Firefox is the virus. My next step may be to unplug the other drives to be sure they are not infected and putting the bug back on, Format C: and reload with an even older image from a remote drive. See how long that runs OK |
