From: Unknown on 20 Apr 2010 10:39 But, does it run in the background? Does it scan?

From: Al Campagna on 20 Apr 2010 13:51 Unknown, My AVG is running in the background. My email checks every 5 minutes, and runs in the background too Perhaps at this point it would be very difficult to try to "by logic alone" determine the culprit. That's why I asked if There was any kind of Windows XP utility or function that would "trace" Windows activity in a log, in hopes of seeing who's using what... and when. Also, this was a web site I was not familiar with, and as a Sandy suggested, it could be the site itself.

From: Unknown on 20 Apr 2010 15:42 There are times when you just have to use the process of elimination. IE shut down one or more things at a time till it no longer fails. Processes in task manager may give you a clue. .
