AOL System Resources

[Tammi]

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

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