Possible virus - a program keeps trying to load
Even if you can't solve the problem, but can shed some light, please do.
My computer, which is running WinXP, seems to be trying to open a new application every 5 seconds. No application opens. This seems like some sort of virus. It is really slowing my computer down.
I have scanned the computer with Symantec Anti-Virus and Lavasoft Adaware in safe mode. Nothing is found.
When I go to task mode these three processes seem to be alternating.
iexplore.exe - i never open iexplore, and this appears then disappears
hostx.exe - two instances of this keep on opening
docc.exe - this cannot seem to be terminated by the task manager.
Can anyone who knows about this please help?
Thanks,
Colin
