what the shit…something is eating my ram….
The past couple days I have been experiencing something strange. I have 2 gigs of ram in my machine but keep on getting virtual memory warnings. Something is slowly occupying all of the ram on my machine. It increases by 1 MB every second or so. Nothing in TasK Manager is using 2 gigs of ram. Is my comp infected with something? AV w/SpyDoctor is coming up negative. Any ideas?
download avast and scan
AVG says I have the crss.exe trojan… but it will not remove it. SpyDoctor with AV is not coming up with anything.
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type ‘Regedit’ and press Return. The registry editor opens.
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the ‘Registry’ menu, click ‘Export Registry File’. In the ‘Export range’ panel, click ‘All’, then save your registry as Backup.
Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entries:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun Services
and remove any reference to any file you deleted.
Each user has a registry area named HKEY_USERS[code number indicating user]. For each user locate the entry:
HKU[code number]SoftwareMicrosoftWindows
CurrentVersionRun
and remove any reference to any file you deleted.
Close the registry editor.
Check the following items
- To renable DCOM you can edit the registry, but it's better to use Dcomcnfg.exe. See Microsoft article 825750 for details.
- The HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsarestrict anonymous = "1" setting does not allow enumeration of SAM accounts and names. The default is "0". It can be changed in Local Security Policy. See Microsoft article 246261 for details.
- Check your administrator passwords and review network security.
