A few days ago, I started to get error reports in
internet explorer that say there is something wrong
with "sysupdShadowProcessing"? which i have no idea
about. I had never even heard of this program. Also, IE
frequently freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-del my way out
of it. These things started hapenning at the same time so
I'm pretty sure they're caused by the same thing. I ran
spybot and it didnt help. Does anyone know how to fix
this????
 
I got a very similar problem with the sysupdshadowprocessing too
recently. Especially when I am opening multiple IE windows, IE (or
even other windows explorer windows) would freeze, and require reboot.
In addition, I often get a error message "vgaps.exe has encountered a
problem and needs to close" along with the sysupdshadowprocessing
error.
AdAware is not catching any problem. Can't find anything on Google.
Hope solution will surface soon.
 
Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.


Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
