Not sure whether my comment before on that ‘host’ stuff made any sense. Have used the machine during the day. Again somewhat better, but does remain slow, e.g. as if it hesitates when you type, but mostly with email (yahoo, hotmail) Does not make any sense I suppose. But thought I’d share anyway. Thank you.
Could you try disabling Immunet for a while and see if that makes a difference
Thank you. Yes, I did that already a couple of days ago. But I recall that during the uninstall process it asked me whether I wanted to uninstall all or leave some stuff for when I decided to get it going again. I made the horrible mistake of electing to leave some stuff. How can I cleanse all that may have been left behind during this particular uninstall process? Can you help me with that please? Thanks. That ‘host process for windows has stopped’ message does not have an impact you think?
How about that, using a trick you showed last time I found remaining spyware doctor and immunet (junk)files by using Revo uninstaller. Deleted these. Hope that revo junk file identifier will have caught them all (if I need to do something additional still, plse let me know). I will test again and advise. Thanks.
Aye revo is quite good like that - is the host process error still occuring ?
Thanks. It did after the particular post, but not since the last post today. The syndrome of ‘hesitation’ in the screen display is still there but I could live with it. Can I ask you still, do you believe the problem was orginally caused by a virus - also since it appeared that Immunet identified a virus. Anything I can do still (have spyware blaster, malwarebytes, avast) to avoid the real bad stuff from happening again to me? And I also noticed that Avast throws the adobe flashplayer into the sandbox - can it (adobe flashplayer) cause the problems I had? I used it frequently in the past for streaming stuff and videos. Thanks again.
I saw no indication of a virus - unless immunet killed it - do you know the file name ?
Yes, the flash player can be a vector for infection
Thanks. I deleted Immunet since (so no names from history) but it claimed it had wiped out a trojan virus.
Do you believe Immunet is worth having installed or does it just cause conflicts?
Is there an alternative when a certain website tells you that to view their content you have to download / install flashplayer? For example I have a favorite sports site, ESPN, a major site, that basically tells you to go down the flashplayer road - do I have an option then or am i stuck with having to install flashplayer to view content?
Thank you.
Install flash player only from the adobe site, if a site asks you to update flashplayer then decline and again go to adobe to update

Not sure about immunet as I have never tried it - might download it to my vm for a play
Thank you.
I will do just that on the flashplayer, appreciate the advice.
OK, would be interested to hear from you how your feel about Immunet. None of the other stuff I have installed captured a virus, but on the other hand after Immunet did what it did, I still had a problem and had to bother you again. So it may have killed the virus but did not restore my computer.
Thanks. Thanks.
OK I will install it tonight and have a play tomorrow ;D
Just experienced where IE stopped working, 2 x. Plus on hotmail, when you respond to a message it for some reason uploads and attaches a whole stack of pictures (.gif) - not mine, and also all the same. Remains weird. I had all this days ago as well. Can’t figure it.
Do you recognise the gifs ? Could you attach one to the post or e-mail it to me if you wish
Boy, do I appreciate your patience. How would I email to you? Is there some avast address for you? Perhaps relevant still, I tried to install flashplayer from the weblink you provided. Their download manager seemed to get hung up - and I simply abandoned. But earlier I noticed that avast appeared suspicious of the download and did something with sandbox (I since changed the sandbox setting to ‘ask’). I tried again but then I got that download manager hang-up issue and abandoned. Any relevance you think? Thanks again.
I will send my addy in a PM - have tried immunet and on my slow VM it went even slower - if that is possible ;D
Got the address and sent my mail. Thanks very much for making the address available. Yes, I remember that during a scan it slowed my machine down to something snail like. Thanks.
Are you using windows mail or livemail as your client ?
http://sn130w.snt130.mail.live.com/default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0
Looks like live mail to me? Does the above provide the info you need?
Do you get your mail from the site or do you use the windows live mail from your computer ?
The reason I ask is that the gifs are for facebook/twitter/bing/rss etc… and appear as a type of banner on your e-mails
I believe the site, my first screen is “http log-in live etc etc”. Hope that makes sense. Thanks
