[QUOTE="Fred Caughlin, post: 434357, member: 42043"] The tool said to restart and I think it was still goofy. I need to get some sleep, so I had shut it off. I saw your message like it may be better so I started it again. At first it seemed like it actually may have normal responses like it should be. But I tried the windows update check and that starts a svchost process that goes up to about max memory again. Of course then it gets a lot slower again. I think overall it is not much better even when the svchost isn't way up. And of course that svchost is still going crazy when something sets it off. I just opened firefox and started a video stream and that got it going up. Of course video ends up badly with low memory. After that FRST restart is popped up asking if I wanted a change to my search page and I clicked to not change that. Hope that wasn't a mistake to what you were doing. I had uninstalled that officeadremover using programs and features, but I notice it still gives me a pop up when I start about buying the service or something. So some remnant of that in the PC. I'll check with this in about 8 hours. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
