Max Memory, Malware, & AVG

11 min read

This thread's last reply is from July 3, 2008, 5:51 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I seem to be having a problem with my AVG 8.0 . Right now is using between 70-85% of my CPU and no scan is running. I've previously uninstalled it and reinstalled; it will work fine after a reboot, but once my computer's screen saver/hibernation kicks in and i return to my computer, it starts hogging all my memory.

I wanted to see if there was something that could be on my computer. I'm a very new user to Hijack This, so i'm not sure how to interpret the log it provided.

Could anyone be of assistance? Thank you.

Hi

Have you tried another AVs than AVG?
I used to have McAfee that came installed with my laptop, it was prone to memory leaks and would hog somewhere around 25%-45%.

the AVG was working well for the past 3 weeks or so, its just in the last week that I've been having problems. I figured it might be something else that is causeing the issue that AVG and/or McAfee weren't picking up on.
Hi

OK, let's then do some more check:

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

  1. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  2. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  3. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  4. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
      Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
      Archives
  5. Click on My Computer under Scan.
  6. Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  7. You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
  8. Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
  9. Please post this log in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log.

***************
I must note that I had to close AVG because it was once again, Maxing Out my memory.

My current system:

Dell Inspiron M1710
Intel Core 2 CPU T7600 @ 2.33GHz
977 Mhz, 3.25 GB of RAM

I appreciate the help so far gentlemen.
Hi

Kaspersky finding is a false positive.

I recommend that you uninstall AVG and try one of the free AVs from below:

Looking over your log, it seems you don't have any evidence of an anti-virus software.

Anti-virus software are programs that detect, cleanse, and erase harmful virus files on a computer, Web server, or network. Unchecked, virus files can unintentionally be forwarded to others, including trading partners and thereby spreading infection. Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software can scan the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They can alert the user if a virus is present, and will clean, delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories. Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors NOW:

1) Antivir PersonalEdition Classic- Free anti-virus software for Windows. Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support.
2) avast! 4 Home Edition - Anti-virus program for Windows. The home edition is freeware for noncommercial users.

It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and comments after that, please :)
