    in the WoW thread, it says :
    "The problem is the key logger. I found it on accident when I got an error with svch0st then investigated more into it. Shut that program down and WoW worked just fine. Now I need to work on getting the trojan out, but it seems many people have it and are getting hacked."

    is the keylogger disgusing itself as svchost?

    has it always doen this or just recently?

    and if you're using a dual core proc or one with ht it shoudln't be all too big an issue but een a single threaded CPU should eb ok assuming it is somewhat modern.

    Its just a recent thing, within the last week.

    I am not using a dual core.

    And no, there is no svch0st...that was one of the first things I checked for.

    if you're willing try a repair install of windows or evena fresh install.

    Sounds stupid but i had this....I ran HijackThis...it found a file called svbtl.pvd....no idea what it was but the program never deleted it, i searched it and deleted it, restarted system, and it was ok..

    It's also done it with a System dump and messed up but corrected itself....This is what happen 2 weeks ago to me and has not occured again yet lol, this isn't really help, just info on what i did...

    Neither of those apply to my situation either unfortunately. The tech forums im going to on the net aren't exactly helping either.

    Sorry it wasn't any use just thought you might have had the same thing as me. :(

    Xelink seems to have the best idea so far, a windows repair, or even a fresh install but that could result in losing alot of your stuff.

    Sorry again that i can't help, good luck Logicaly. :)

    repair/upgrade install typically doen't result in data loss...
