My computer was fine till about a week back. I am running Windows XP SP2, Norton Anitvirus, am connected using 128 Kbps always on connection to internet. I also have azureus installed. My computer has 512 MB RAM and a 1 GB swap file. When I start my computer , after I log on, the disk activity goes on for a long time and then I get the low virtual memory message. This happens even in 'Safe mode'.
After this happens, I cant run any programs, and I cant even start task manager to see whats going on. I cant even shutdown, though I can see the desktop. Is it a virus/worm or is it a swap file problem. I dont understand why this should start happening one fine day. I am unable to change any settings , because this happens while the startup is happening. Please Help.

Ive seen a virus like that before at school. The one I saw kept starting up new processes until' there was no more space. see if putting in the windows cd and selecting something along the lines of repair works...

hi I propose you boot into secure Mode (press F8 while your pc starts off) and replace and test with Kaspersky Suite back. you're making use of the main cutting-edge (2009) Kaspersky version good? After that, I propose you acquire and test with Superantispyware loose and Malwarebytes Antimalware loose. then you truly can run CCleaner to bathe the disk.

Have you checked the space in your hard drive? also, any error conditions in the hard drive may be a factor.
