WRX22B1998 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes I know you can google this...but...all the situations for people have been when doing something specific. I bought a WD MyBook World Edition (just means it has LAN connection) and installed the compulsory crap MioNet software Since this, on my laptop, explorer.exe has sometimes jumped up and stayed at ~50% CPU usage, and start menu doesnt respond, nor does clicking any icons. I pretty much have to ctrl alt del, end process "explorer.exe" and run "explorer" and start over. This is a real pain especially because I am copying files sometimes when this happens, other times I'm not really doing anything. Ive run Spybot S&D (which just found cookies) and ran AVG Anti Virus (which found a virus in the multi theft auto admin.exe...) but nothing else.

Was your PC running smoothly before you install MioNet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 I just thought of that myself(uninstaling it)...but I need it to get to my external HD. Edit..No i dont figured out a way I will try uninstalling this software, then see what happens But...it did it before (after Mionet) with other stuff like svchost.exe and rundll32.exe Beginning to annoy me, as soon as i close Mionet my whole comp froze....i still have the disc for it so if i REALLY need it back i can get it. but i will try uninstalling that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX22B1998 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Not to be a bitch, but I dont have Hijackthis...and the running processes are all normal (confirmed by Security Task Manager) i know what they all are...but I'l put it in nonetheless I cut and paste some processes to try and make it square because they dont all fit on one screen This is what I did..and it seemed to fix the problem. First I uninstalled MioNet (it was giving me problems, like, for example I copied all these videos off the camera, from D drive. And it started caching all of them to c drive (pretty much making a copy) while it was transferring and then i was getting all these Low Disk Space warnings...long story short its really annoying) Then I went into my dad's computer (also XP) and copied explorer.exe to my USB. Then I went and renamed explorer.exe in my windows directory to explorer.old and pasted the new explorer.exe. Then I rebooted and it hasnt done it yet... Still pretty strange though so...
