Default AOL System Resources

Why does my AOL system resources drain so fast? I go to
AOL system Information and my resources are in the red at
15%. Sometimes I can be on the computer for as little as
30 minutes and I have to log out of AOL and restart my
computer. Does anyone else have this problem? Thank You
for any help on this situation. Tammi

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.
