im having big issues with my pc.?
ok so i no it's infected by some kind of virus, i look at the task manager processes tab and if what ever i got highlighted (or selected) it flashes. and i notice a few programs on the list more than once. i got svchost.exe on there right now 6 times, 3 system, and 3 network service. also have rundll32.exe on there twice, both owner. but the real issue is that my computer likes to freeze up a lot, even now i'm praying that it don't freeze up while im asking this question on y! answers. the major problem is that it will freeze when i have my virus protection (avg free) run scans too, so i don't really know how to deal with this problem really. any advice anyone can give me?

Hi, svchost.exe and rundll32.exe are not viruses, they are subroutines invoked by Windows to perform specific activities by the operating system. What you should do is check what applications and routines are running when you have no other applications open. See if you can spot anything using a lot of CPU and then try to identify what it is. Remember that things like antiviruis software can routinely kick into life and cause you PC to stop (freeze) momentarily.
