I am using Mozilla Firefox version 9.0.1. My anti-virus system is Panda Internet Security 2011, and my OS is Windows 7. HP Compaq Presario C700, so it's a few years old now. A few weeks ago my computer had a bit of a spastic attack - including seemingly heating up a little then turning off, but that might have been due to me not updating all the things Windows Update tells me to update. Updating it etc seemed to solve that problem. My browser seems to be running a little slow and Not Responding fairly often, but not actually crashing. I don't think Panda is automatically updating itself properly, but I made it do a thorough scan yesterday and it didn't find anything. My computer was a part of a network, but the network was saying my computer didn't have an anti-virus program running, so the network owner decided to remove me from the network. ...The Windows Action Centre (which I just checked to see if there was a conflict in firewall/anti-virus programming) just said that Windows Defender needs to scan my computer? I've looked through the processes of all users (so me, System, etc), and nothing looks suspicious. Except that there are multiple svchost.exe processes (which is normal, right?), and when you go to Open File Location, it gives the same location for all the svchost processes (is that normal?). The firefox.exe process is pretty big/using a fairly large whatever (250,000ish) for not doing much? So, do these things indicate an issue like that, and if so what should I do? I'm going to update Firefox to 10 and see if that makes a difference.... Read More »
