Okay I used F-Secure free scanner to detect viruses/spyware/malware/trojans/worms and all of those dirty things, right now it has scanned my entire computer (full computer scan) and is cleaning what it found, well it has been the same thing for over 1 hour (7/50) could the program have frozen? or what?
This is what it looks like:
Cleaning
Processing... (7/50)
Currently Cleaning: Tracking Cookie

Stand alone cleaners direct from the antivirus server will take upto three hours depending on how many programs you have installed in your computer. This is normal as you can see how how many programs the scanner has scanned.
Once you start this type of scan, it is best that you just wait and allow the antivirus scanner to do it job.

hey!! i think it's thinking to hard on something and it's using up all your RAM until the computer freezes. it might have to do with an windows update from about a month ago. i never turn off my computer, but i added a network on friday and had to restart my computer (which installs updates). for the last few days my computer has frozen around 6:30am, which i thought was random until i checked and found my fsecure ran virus scan at 6am. when i get up around 9, my screen is frozen and time shows 6:34 and cpu usage bar at 100% (the bar when you hit crtl+alt+del).
it might also have to do with the fact that there haven't been any updates for about a month (april 10 for me)
can you still do other things? because when mine freezes, it just completely freezes.. no system busy hourglass bar... just the screen as it was hours ago when it froze and no responsiveness from mouse or keyboard.. also it runs in the background, so i can't tell exactly what it's doing when it dies...
