I believe Windows Desktop Search got installed in the same install, inadvertently.Ĭookiegal has since reviewed the latest diagnostics and determined that there is no serious virus infection issue any more.

I did try to install various anti-spyware tools like spybot, spyware blaster, I think some type of host filter list, etc. This was catpured in a thread here - and resolved due to tremendous help from Cookiegal. We had a virus problem on this machine.There were two key events I can relate it to: Which version of Windows have you?Īnswer: The problem began around end of Nov/early Dec.

These can also conflict with competitors "toolbars" so it is best to uninstall these too if you do not use them. If you have more than one, choose and uninstall the others.Īny of these will initially spend a lot of time indexing the drive and therefore there will be a lot of drive activity initially which will taper off as the drive gets fully cataloged. Windows desktop search can conflict with other similar tools like google desktop and therefore you should only use one of them. So go and run defrag (my computer, right click drive, choose tools, defrag) Thus files are not normally fragmented but the drive is the moment you save anything in XP on an NTFS format drive. It will then attempt to move around files in that area to get a large enough area to store this file there in one non fragmented space. Later windows defrag will analyze the files usage and determine where on the drive it belongs permanently. With the NTFS format which is file based, a segment of the drive large enough to hold the entire file in one contiguous stretch is found when a file is saved. You can disable this feature using TweakUI for XP, under General options => uncheck optimize hard disk when idle.Įven on a drive with just windows defrag it can often be a sign of a severely fragemented drive. Since each defrag utility uses a different algorythm to determine where on the disk each file belongs (do you sort by name, file type, date of creation, frequency of use, size, catagory, etc how should the files be organized?) often having two will result in dueling defrag where one moves a file and then the other moves it elsewhere and then the first moves it back. The windows defrag (and most others now) includes an "optimize hard disk when not in use" feature which runs "mini defrags" whenever it detects that you are not using the computer.

If this resolves the problem let us know and we will try to guide you to a further resolution.ĭo you have a third party defrag program (Norton Speed disk, Iolo system mechanic, OODefrag etc) ? If so it could be conflicting with windows built in defrag which is based on Executive Software Diskkeeper lite.

If Automatic Update is running reboot in Safe Mode, run services.msc and double click the entry for Automatic Updates and set the startup mode to disabled and reboot. Is a process other than system idle using your processor at a high %age?įor the most part when I have seen this problem in the past it has been caused by a problem with Microsoft Automatic Updates being enabled and not functioning properly. Can you associate the onset of the problem to the addition or removal of hardware or software, to include an update to Windows or your antivirus program? Have you run a registry cleaner recently? I am NOT suggesting that you run a reg cleaner.
