I rcently noticed my internet connection showed a lot of activity (both
sending and receiving) even though i had no web pages open and was not
downloading. I closed my
internet connection (through a Belkin wireless adsl router) but my computer
slowed down and eventually shut down my anti-virus and firewall due to "low
on virtual
memory" I rebooted and opened task manager and noticed the when my internet
connection was open the page fille was about 180 - 240mb but when i closed my
internet connection the CPU usage immediately soared to 100% for about 15
seconds then it dropped to under 10% but at that point the page file useage
began to slowly rise. It eventually reach 1.96gb and at that point stopped
rising at the same time the CPU usage then rose to 100% and stayed that way.
By this time a lot of my running systems such as AVG anti-virus and Zone
Alarm Pro had shut down. I'm running daily updated AVG Free, Ad-Aware
Professional and Edwido Guard. Convinced i had a virus or trojan I scanned
with all of these and found nothing wrong. I then downloaded the latest
version of Stinger which also found no problems.
i have now
re-formatted and reinstalled windows (with all updates) and still the problem
persists. As long as i keep my internet connection open the page file stays
at about 200 - 250mb but opening web pages slower than normal.
I am using XP pro with 512 mb memory. My page file is set to 600 minimum and
1200 maximum i have tried other values, including letting the sytem manage
page file but the problem stays.
Can anyone help please
