Virus, Shutdown slow

r_jayesh · 06-07-2005, 01:53 PM

Hi everybody,

I have a major virus problem in my system, my system is AMD 2400, 512MB, 80GB HDD, Operating system Windows XP Pro. Last month onwards my system is getting stuck up or slow at shutdown, after clicking on â€œTurn off Computerâ€? It takes more than 2 min to come the shutdown window, then again if I press shutdown its taking 2 to 3 min to shut the system off, earlier it was only 30 sec job. But my system performance and startup are fine, Can anyone tell me what could be wrong in my system, or is it a Virus? I have Macfee intalled in system.

Please help. !!!

1. update your antivirus, and do a full system scan.
2. get ad-aware or spybot sd and look for spywares in your comp
3. disable unnecessary services in your comp, look at this thread

tell if that helped

I had a similar problem on installing Microsoft .Net Framework version 2 beta. Reverted to version 1.1 and everythings back to normal.

I reckon it's something similar in your case. A service that fails to shutdown properly. Maybe something that's got installed with McAfee AV?? Try uninstalling recently installed software one by one.

I dont think Mcafee is gonna a gud job with virus cos it doesnt detect many.

Have AVG/Antivir/Avast/Clam instead of that.

If u reckon there is a virus somewhere use an online scan to detect i.e. Trend Micro, Panda.
