  Windows 7 Home Premium PC

  THAT IS TO SAY 11

  I did add something new to my pc.  It started randomly happening...

  What I've noticed, is my computer will be stronger, as it is to wrap upward and the CPU goes crazy.

  After that research around these things, I noticed happen when this noise starts and the CPU going nuts:

  -Under Internet Security my settings changed on their own to custom

  (I then change them back only to have this all happen again minutes later)

  -When this is happening and I'm going under dllhost.exe Task Manager suddenly over 15 years * 32 Com alternatives pop up all at the same time

  I do stop by changing my Internet Security properties to default and putting an end to the tree of processes all the dllhost.exe * 32 Com substitutes.

  Then, about 5 or 10 minutes later it happens again. This has happened in recent days.  I ran safely scan and it found some VirToolWin32 - CeeInject.gen! KK (linked in Adobe Updater). This VirTool:MSIL/injector.BF has been removed but all that I mentioned above is still ongoing.

  Another weird thing, all my update history disappeared. It says updated, ever. Now it only shows the update one alone that I did when I opened a session today.

  What is the make & model of the system - especially if it's something in the sense of a Dell, HP, Gateway, Lenovo, etc. ?

  How much memory you have (RAM) installed?

  How many total and free space on your C:\ drive?

  What is your video & model device manufacturer?  It has its own memory or share some of your memory (RAM) system?

  Are all your drivers for hardware devices to date form the manufatcurers of individual hardware device?

  What internet connection speed do you have your internet service provider?  (Download and upload speeds, please.)

  If you have supposedly done a defrag and CHKDSK of disk... Okay - I suggest the following, in the order, repeating the defrag/chkdsk as given.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  Dllhost.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Windows Operating System. The dllhost.exe file manages DLL based applications. This program is important for the stable and safe running of your computer and should not be terminated. DLLhost using lots of CPU may indicate a malware issue.

• VI running on an Instance of Application EXE computer remote?

  TestStand has the option to "Run VI on a remote computer" under LabVIEW Advanced Settings.  My understanding is that the VI is run under the 'Instance Application main"If no path of the project is provided.

  If the remote computer runs a LabVIEW executable (using the LabVIEW runtime engine), it is possible to run a VI on the remote computer within the executable?

  I tried to select the "always run VI in LabVIEW Run - Time Engine", but this doesn't seem to work under the executable namespace.  I am aware that VI server can be used to communicate with the remote computer executable.  However, if TestStand was able to call a VI in an exe, it would eliminate the need to create wrapper VI server functions.

  All advice is appreciated.  Thank you!

  Hey LVB,

  I looked into this a bit more and I think I have the solution you are looking for. First of all, I've update article How can I communicate with the LabVIEW Run-Time Environment and the development environment on Th..., since the string, that you include in the INI of the executable file is no longer the following:

  [name_of_exe]

  Server.TCP.Enabled = True

  Server.TCP.Access = "+ localhost"

  Server.TCP.port = 3362

  but should look similar to the following, which can be copied directly from the LabVIEW ini file (found in C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW\LabVIEW.ini):

  [name_of_exe]

  Server.TCP.Enabled = True

  Server.TCP.ACL = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

  Server.TCP.port = 3362

  Once you configure your executable file, you can call the Vi in the executable directly using a code module. Remove a step in the action in Teststand, go to advanced settings and configure the settings to run your Vi remotely. Only entry in your remote path Vi Vi name, as it will throw an error if you use the full path. For example, if I had a Vi named cubed.vi, I would be entered in the remote path of the Vi instead of C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\cubed.vi. Then, you should be able to call it successfully. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope it's useful for you.

  Kind regards

• Multiple instances of rundll32.exe in Windows 7 Premium using all RAM - no viruses detected by MSE but PC runs slowly

  Processor: AMD Athlon (TM) 9750 Quad-Core 2.40 GHz

  4,00 (3.75 usable) GB RAM

  System: 64 - bit OS with Genuine Microsoft Windows 7 Premium (purchased separately with distributor online PC)

  At startup, there are three instances of rundl32l.exe with no path name Image displayed in the Task Manager.

  The three were separated from the PID of 1624, 1634 and 1644.

  None has an associated user name.

  Used private working memory is listed as 128K, 344K, 520K.

  Commit size is listed as 1, 036 K, 1 864 K and 1 940 K.

  List page 717, 1 731, and 2 044 defects

  Note that the following persons have no associated user name, until I log in as an administrator:

  Csrss.exe, nwsvc.exe, until I log in as an administrator, date at which all are listed as belonging to the user of the system.

  There are two instances of csrss.exe after I login as an administrator to monitor the system.

  Note that as soon as I open MSIE (worm: 9.0.8112.162421 64-bit Edition |) Update: 9.05 (KB2647516) | Encryption level: 256-bit)
  The use of the RAM dropped to 1.04 BG of the GB available total 3.75, jumped but still once 3.14 GB and the balloons of the use of network.

  as soon as I logged as administrator.  There are multiple instances open for svchost.exe attributed to the system, network and Local Service.

  Since I use MacAfee and Microsoft Security Essentials and have found a problem, I wonder if there is a virus that creates multiple

  run32dll.exe and this according to the capacity of detection of these two programs.

  You know, it's more difficult to follow all the news - just to get a response.  I've restored as soon as possible, has got rid of the programs and the remains, then reinstalled MSE and updated, and, Yes, the computer is updated and better now with the improvement of power, video card and without an easy way to trace this information (you know a feature of Windows that would follow easily everything you ask?) - it seems a big eater of real-time , for questionable results.  I thought that Windows 7 Ultimate would have included more administration tools just to log on and view, copy, paste, rather than the back-and-forth necessary to fill out a form that is as unique as it is not shoot all the tools.  I see that much info required users, and where is the forensic tools easy to use a computer owner should have?  Malware authors certainly use them.  The average owner must be at least as good a handle on reports on what's happening, everything down to the core.

  Any tips?

• Computer runs slowly and fraud calls

  Original title: computer running slow. Clean.

  Hello

  My problem now is my slow computer at startup upward and the frezzing up from time to time. I received a call in June a company in India that my computer had some questions and what not and they had a package for $199.99 a year to keep it clean and smooth running. Well, my contract is over and now I get another call from another simuilar to the last company telling me that the reason why my computer is slow and frezzing up is because there are hackers hacking in and using my manufacturing system can work slowly and for package $149.99 a year they can clean up all this and get the pirates on and my system running smooth new.

  Sounds like the song and dance, except that I don't want to dance with them this time.

  Can you help me sort this issue and if I have to buy some kind of package, I want to keep him here in the United States instead of going abroad. I'm not that catchy with computers and don't get internal not with them. I'm 62 and good enough old school when it comes to such things. They also said my McAfee Security was not working, but I receive regular advice on the updates he says is is me.

  Can you help me or direct me to someone or place where I can get help. I live in Houston, Texas.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey Oscar,.

  These are the calls of fraud which you. Microsoft does not make that neither have they partners that do and don't they hire contractors or individuals or even to find volunteers to do. There are probably thousands of these companies out there do every day - we get two or three posts like this (or more) each day ask about it.

  Check out these links from Microsoft regarding the calls of fraud:

  Never encourage such calls and never buy these items/packages they offer. Do not provide all the details and give access to anyone claiming to be Microsoft or Microsoft Partners.  Microsoft calls only to the customer who have contacted by telephone, e-mail and chat and have a number of Microsoft Service request or Service for a reported problem.

• There are several instances of explorer.exe running in Task Manager (currently 7), each help between 10 and 40 MB of memory.

  Explorer.exe processes use resources cpu at different times.  I remember reading at the time that this could be a sign of a virus, but I did a full scan with NIS 2010 and nothing showed.  Can someone give me pointers where to begin to investigate?

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 Friday last-formatted disk HARD and everything, so he didn't have much time for something bad to happen!

  I discovered what is causing the explorer.exe hang... If you give ALL the arguments for explorer.exe in your shortcut/properties, to try to change the default of libraries directory, it crashes.  For example, simply using "explorer.exe C:\. "will cause a task explore hang whent you close it... to crash, I mean the window closes, but the process remains in memory.  I had 15 tonight explorer.exe...  There is advice on the net on how to get the default Explorer for workstation (which I have been using this trick - I HATE default libraries which I NEVER use)... so change your shortcut and remove all the arguments for explorer.exe.  See if it suits it!

  As expected, the support has no knowledge on what I see.

  PS - I just understand how default Explorer for workstation... Its strange, but it works...  Click right drag the icon from your desktop on the desktop on an empty space.  Create shortcut...  Now detach any Windows Explorer, you have in your taskbar... Now left click, drag your shortcut from the desktop to the taskbar.    Now, if you simply click on it, you go into libraries... BUT - if instead you right click, you will see the shortcut from the desktop and select this option, it goes into my computer... and there's never hang out of any EXTRA explorer.exe!

• Computer runs slowly until

  My computer is running so slowly, especially when I'm on my desktop on the internet. When I'm on the desktop of boyfriend on the internet I can open pages in a snap.

If I'm lucky and you get the cursor to move, the only way to get out the gel from the page to the top is to disconnect the desktop computer I'm on, which also takes forever.

Owe nothing to do wth applications on FB the cause of all the freeze ups and slow? Thank you very much for the help. Aloha, calzona75

  Calzona75,

  You currently have 512 MB of RAM installed, which is the bare minimum for Windows Vista. I would go ahead and assume that it is the big problem.
  RAM is a physical piece of equipment that you are installing. I recommend the upgrade at least 1 GB, 2 GB preferably. Once it is finished, it will feel like a whole new computer!
  Hope that helps!

• What does it mean when he says "a script slows down the computer running slowly?

  Whenever I'm on FACEBOOK, I get a grey inset block on the screen saying that something is causing a "script" and, therefore, my computer works more slowly.

  Ok

  See if you have a "My Computer" icon on the screen (your office).  Otherwise, you can just click on the button 'Start' (lower left corner) and right-click on 'My Computer' (near 'Control Panel').

  After you right-click and then opens a menu popup (rectangular box).

  Then just click on this box, where it is said, 'properties' - then a big box with:

  the speed of the processor is listed under "Processor" (turn where it says Mhz or Ghz and the number just before it (as one might say 1.9 Ghz or 333 Mhz ["hz" stands for hertz]).)

  the RAM will be also listed, perhaps under "installed memory (RAM).

  Also, I would like to know what is your brand-name of the computer and if you can find a model number (and how old it is would be useful).

  Thank you.
