hey guys, i am not too sure what it could be but when i play a game my computer like skips, its not from internet connection, im not an expert but im like 80% sure its a virus thats making the performance of my computer skip. another example is when i watch a fully buffered youtube video it also skips so it can't be my internet. i just noticed it now too that when i type it also skips, lol any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hey..what "skip" are you talking about?
I can't picture what are you talking about..
And please tell your ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE.

Hey folks, note the log, the poster is running Antivir anti-virus.
Now for the original poster, flipboi15, how long has this been happening?
You do have MBA-M on there, have you updated and run a Full Scan with it lately? If so we need to see the log. If you have NOT done this then please do so now, having it Remove All that it finds.
Reboot the computer and then run a new HJT scan.
Post back with both of those logs.

the skip im talking about is the video stops for not even a second but it is noticeable. i cant really explain it. its just not smooth to watch the video when it is fully buffered. and my antivirus is avira free version.

Hi Judy, thanks for your reply. this has been happening for about 2 weeks now. i have ran MBA-M that is fully updated in both normal boot mode and safe mode and it did not find anything wrong (so i do not have the log files for that), i however, scanned with spybot S&D and i found a couple of suspicious files called "bluestreak" and "Zedo".

Bluestreak and Zedo are both advertising listings. Likely adware, hopefully Spybot Removed them.
Your MBA-M logs ARE available in the program, Open it up and go to Logs. Post the one from the NORMAL scan. MBA-M is NOT meant to be run in Safe Mode as it won't do a proper scan because all of it's drivers cannot be loaded.
I would like to see the log anyway, even though it showed clean.
You do have a lot of unneeded programs running all the time. This could also cause problems with other items running on the computer.
Does this skipping happen only with videos viewed via the internet or does it also happen with video files directly ON the computer?

Judy

it happens to everything i do on the computer basically from typing on MSN to watching videos to playing games, so that is why im assuming its a virus thats messing up my computers memory.

okay Judy, i will scan it now. here is the latest HJT logfile.

it happens to everything i do on the computer basically from typing on MSN to watching videos to playing games, so that is why im assuming its a virus thats messing up my computers memory.

So anything done ONLINE...? Because nothing you said above tells me this also happens if you are offline.
I am going to, at this time, say I don't think it is a virus. Why? You have an extraordinary amount of programs running on the computer...a huge number in fact and when I say running...I mean actually running. Now of course I could be wrong but if the amount of programs and files you had running at the time of the scan is normal then it could very well be that your system is just "over taxed".
How much RAM do you have on the computer? How large is your hard drive, how much Free space do you have on there? What are your settings for Virtual Memory?

When was the last time you did a basic cleanup...empty temp files, etc?
When was the last time you did a defrag? When did you last update all your drivers...graphics, audio, sun java?

it happens offline too, watching videos thats already on my hard drive. and i believe its a virus because i had this spyware that would popup saying i should scan my computer and that it has found infected objects, i let my antivirus take care of that and it doesn't happen anymore but it could still be on my computer.

- i have 1GB of DDR ram.
- i have 80GBs of hard drive with 20.2GBs of free space.
- I have no clue how to check my virtual memory settings.

Yesterday i had cleaned my temp files,cookies internet content with CCleaner and i also defragged it yesterday. Graphics and Audio like a year ago and i have the latest drives for both graphics and audio. Sun java i have not touched.

i disabled those myself so i didnot take action on those 3

Why is your Security Center disabled?

i believe its a virus because i had this spyware that would popup saying i should scan my computer and that it has found infected objects, i let my antivirus take care of that

How do you know the anti-virus program took care of it? Generally an anti-virus program cannot remove this. I am not saying it couldn't but anti-virus programs generally don't remove spyware or trojans. What was the name of this? It should be listed in logs from your anti-virus program.

Sun java i have not touched.

What version of java are you running? Current version is version 6 update 17.
1/4 remaining free on the hard drive isn't a lot, should be ok, but not a lot, progams might run slower. 1GB of RAM isn't much either, this would also maybe make programs run slower.

To check Virtual Memory setting do the following:
Right click My Computer, choose Properties, When that opens choose the Advanced Tab. When that opens Click Performance Settings button. When that opens again click Advanced. On the Virtual Memory setting what is the number showing there?

what i meant by "i let my antivirus take care of it" was that i ran it and it detected the virus and did what it could. i no longer get the popup. i also stated that it might still be on the computer. and like i said i dont know what it is called anymore because i let my antivirus "take care of it".

my java is :Java Version 1.6.0_16. (not sure what that means but i just googled what version of java do i have and it gave me that)

my virtual memory is 756 MB

I am asking again Why is your Security Center disabled?
You need to update your Java, it is out of date. Go HERE, download the OFFLINE install and save it to the desk top for easy access. Once it is downloaded then go to Add/Remove and Uninstall ALL older versions of Java you find there. Once that has completed then, close all browsers and double click that install file on the desktop to install the new version. Once it says it has completed then go back to the download page and click Verify Now on the right side of the page to go to the verification page to assure the install was successful.

Your Virtual Memory is set way too low.

The recommended size for virtual memory is 1.5 times the amount of RAM installed and also use a fixed virtual memory/pagefile size, to do this you would set the minimum and maximum size to the same number.
1. Click Start, right click on My Computer and then click Properties
2. Click ” Advanced “.
3. At the ” Performance ” section click ” Settings ” .
4. Select ” Advanced ” and in the ” Virtual Memory ” click ”Change”.
5. Custom Size ” and set BOTH the Initial Size and Maximum Size to 1536MB. Click ” Set ” .
6. Click Ok and restart your Computer.

I would also recommend that you do at least one online scan.
Please Run the ESET Online Scanner and attach the ScanLog with your post for assistance.

* You will need to use Internet Explorer to to complete this scan.
* You will need to temporarily Disable your current Anti-virus program.

* Be sure the option to Remove found threats is Un-checked at this time (we may have it clean what it finds at a later time), and the option to Scan unwanted applications is Checked.
* When you have completed that scan, a scanlog ought to have been created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please post that log for us.

That is no reason to turn off the Security Center...WHY don't you use a firewall?
Have you checked for updated drivers for audio and graphics? They could have changed in a year.
