Random Hang

[mohityadavx]

Nowadays I am suffering random hang every second now & then . Though the system recovers from hang within few seconds itself its quite frustrating. these hang increase when i surf the internet irrespective of the browser. I am using Windows 7 and my config is in my signature.

I am using ESET NOD 32 antivirus updated till today.

Well I guess you are missing the opyimization.
1. Defrag and optimize your HDD
2. Clean your Registery
3. Defrag your Registry
4. Optimize your startup
5. Clean up your disk space (I mean disk cleaner)

Do these things.

 

[mohityadavx]

^^I only suffer these hang when internet is used otherwise system won't hang.

I am using Tune Up Utilities 2010 ( Giveaway link by SAM)

 

[gameranand]

Well yeah I also had similar problem and these optimizations helped me out so I would suggest the same to you.

 

[mohityadavx]

but is having no effect on it

Infact i had been using Tune Up 2011 trial before it ( By reinstalling & uninstalling)

 

[gameranand]

Have you tried to defrag your registry???
Also use Defrag and optimize option from Auslogics disk defrag for HDD defrag and optimize its settings
I mean go to settings and then Algorithms Tab and select to move system files to beginning of the disk.

 

[mohityadavx]

^^ defrag the registry using Tune up

will try auslogics now

@mohit, which firewall is installed in your system? or you may try downloading emsisoft antimalware & give a thorough scan of your system drive.

Do scan using this online AV-
HouseCall - Free Online Virus Scan - Trend Micro USA

Uninstall ESET.
Also install Avira free as future antivirus

 

[mohityadavx]

Thanx Sam will try use it not using any firewall right now

@ techfreak will use this scanner but i am reluctant to change ESET its just so lite on system resources.. Thanx

Well u tried techfreak's suggested online scanner and it found one trojan and one worm and it fixed it but now my system is getting too slow infact there is a difference in when i type and it comes on screen.

It won't let me use bitdefender online scanner and hangs the system.

F-secure has been chosen as the product of the year for the past year by av comparitives . But i can hardly comment on that _ never used !

But you should really have Avira free !
Also after installation in avira startup mode select Safe mode !
Also it has low false positive and low resource

Found another virus & keylogger via Windows 7 antimalware.

It can be a False positive also ! It doesn't mean it should be real !

Also if you Don't have firewall,go for Comodo free or PC tools free !

Scan with emisoft antimalware ( free mode ) if problem persists

Hope it Helps !

Open up your task manager and see which process is hogging up your computer during the hang. Report back that process here.

 

[thetechfreak]

Get Avira freee according to me.

Do a scan using Malware Bytes Antimalware. Its a good piece of software.

And do a complete PC Scan with the online AV I suggested.

Avira for sure.

Dude take essential care while deleting the files or repairing because they might be system files as false positive.

It was showing a randomly named exe in system 32 and when i googled exe it was't showing up so i think it was a infection only.

Thanx for all your support guys .

I think i will go for a clean reinstall. ( as every new scanner is founding more of them)

Thats the best idea.
Good luck with that.

 

[mohityadavx]

Ok

I did a clean reinstall

Then installed avira free and updated it

then i updated windows 7 to latest updates

Now after 5-6 days of smooth work i m suffering the same problem again
