Just joined this forum and seeking advice having used Rogue Killer (free version) several times, mainly over the last few days, from discovering it on the bleeping computer.
Should point out that although a computer user since the apple 2C I am still technically ignorant and not proud of that.
I am seeking assistance with an issue that, from what I have read browsing the forum, is one of the most common reasons- suspecting my computer may have a virus or something. I scanned with Rogue Killer, MWB, Combo fix, which seem to provide some improvement - but Rogue Killer throws up the same problems are again identified on the following days(s) - so far about 5 scans. The most apparent problem with my computer is that it started to suddenly stop (crash) during booting and subsequently when a rapid change in the graphics is triggered. A week ago I pulled it apart, replaced the thermal grease and thoroughly cleaned out the fans etc. with no improvement except the fans are much quieter. On a cold start it tends to crash at the input of the first instruction unless carefully nursed by inputting when it is inactive - if I succeed in getting the email and browser up and running, it tends to stabilise until an input requiring a big boost in graphic movement sends it crashing. In addition I am finding some functions stop working such as deletion in windows 7 live mail - in short it has become quite unstable. At this stage I am becoming rather desperate to clarify if it is a software or hardware issue - and would be very grateful for any advice/suggestions.
