Cannot download...browsers freeze

(1/2) > >>

Dinky1s:
I only use Firefox and Opera (FF mostly).  After having some other computer issues, i ran a few scans with adwcleaner, Roguekiller, rkiller, combofix and others.  There were a few nasties in there that were clean.  Scans are generally coming up clean now.  HOwever, since then, I am unable to download anything without the browsers freezing.  I can access the internet fine, surf all day, but if I go to download a program the browser (but not the rest of the computer) freezes and I have to use Task Master to close it out.  It does not matter if I use FF or Opera, attempting to DL freezes.   Also, with FF if I try to choose Options, FF freezes, however, I can select Private Browsing off the same Tools menu with no problem.   This is very perplexing. :confused:

Shane:
Did you also run tdsskiller?

Dinky1s:
Just ran it....clean.

Dinky1s:
Ran RKill again for the fun of it.   I'm posting the newest results first...as you'll see it keeps finding the same thing.

This could be a problem! May not be a solution to your posted problem, but should be fixed if not a false positive.

Run regedit.exe and check the ImagePath value of the RpcSs service key. It should be the same as listed above.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs

Right click on the service and export before making any changes!
Post the exported RpcSs.reg.

Also please run FarBar Service Scanner and post the log file. Check all boxes.
