Screensavers slow, freeze, stutter after a short while

... "Augustus" wrote in message news:NYq%j.376$i74.48@edtnps91... I did use Vundofix, Adaware Plus and Spybot. All three removed various bits and pieces of the bug and all the overt symptoms of it seemed to have vanished. Each prog claimed success in ridding the virus. I'll try the software you recommended, as well. I'm not familiar with Vundofix, but I can assure you that Adaware and Spybot are not up to this task. Let us know what you find... Good news! Superantispyware did indeed find 7 more instances of Vundo - two registry entries and 5 additional dlls in win32 missed by Vundofix, Adaware Plus and Spybot. Odd that each of those three programs found files the other two missed, all reported the infestation clean, yet none completely cleaned Vundo out! After completing a full systems scan in safe mode, I rebooted and tested the screensavers. After an hour of continuous use, it appears that the stutter has vanished. Thanks for that recommendation, Augustus! I may have spoke too soon. Apparently the last remnants of the virus are gone, but I just noticed after about an hour my display was syrupy slow once again and it's not just my screensavers, but also my MMO game, EVE Online. I'm not sure what else can be done to fix these display issues. |

It's been fine on my AMD system. The problem was with certain SP3 ISOs that had Intel drivers rather than the AMD equivalents, with rather predictable consequences. If you installed SP3 from the redistributable, as I did, that problem never occured. Thus far the closest thing to a problem I've seen is a minor conflict with my admittedly older defragmenter and the post-SP3 MMC, but it still works and I've told MMC to ignore it. |

SP3 screwed up all of backup utilities, causing BSoDs. |
