Real fucked up problem with my laptop - pls help
« on: February 08, 2010, 02:30:19 AM »
I cleaned my machine of viruses about a year ago (yes Ive waited this long to ask, Im just so keen to find out wtf is going on)

and since then certain webpages have heaps of trouble loading (Facebook in particular), the browser will just be stuck in the status: "Waiting for static.ak.fbcdn.net" or something similar. Ive noticed that it will generally be something something "static" something when it gets stuck loading. Ive tried IE, Firefox and Chrome, all browsers have the same problem?

Anyone have any idea wtf is happening here or how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance :)

If you haven't run a housecall from TrendMicro, I'd suggest that just to make 100% sure that you're clean.  I have a package for cleaning machines, but I'd have to upload it.  Give me a bit.

It's the "take off and nuke the site from orbit" option, but have you considered reinstalling from the partition/install disks?

I use Avast! which is free for home users, and haven't experienced any problems. Try installing that, letting it run its own check right after installation, see what it has.

Also, I'm not sure if I've misread your assessment, but cleaning your machine once a year is not going to provide protection. You gotta wrap that rascal before you take him out to play. (Kosma, this goes for you too!  :heart)

AVG  :yuck

Try Avira, it's got occasional pop-ups, but it's helluva lot less system intensive.

Also might want to look into Microsoft Security Essentials. I haven't tried it but I hear good things.

----------------------

I had problems loading certain webpages once. I disabled Windows Defender and the problem went away. Don't know if it's the same situation for yours tho.
