Moderators rridgely Posted July 4, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2005 Ok, so while scanning with ewido you click off to try to use the internet or something and it takes a long time for the ewido window to minimize (Thats what I assume is happening when the pages peel). Thats what I'm getting from what you wrote. How much memory does your pc have? Have you been noticing any slowdowns? Also just to make sure your not scanning with all of those programs at the same time are you? Also you should really get ad aware too: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...ubj=dl&tag=top5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware nothing suspicious is in my computer but,knowing my luck When you asked how much memory I have does 25600MB sound right? If I already have protection on my computer ,why do you recomend that I get adaware too?x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjLizard Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 probably repaints the screen really slowly... needs new video card drivers, a new video card, more ram, less background processes, or some other such thing.

incy wincy Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 What do you mean by "pages peel"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I mean for example, when I close spybot or outlook express it will peel slowly from the top of the page to the bottom revealing my desktop this does not cause a problem but would like to know why? : thanks incy wincy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 5, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2005 That can happen if too many programs are running. It can also happen much easier if say for instance you are scanning with Ewido and your antivirus resident shield is still active. The scanning process is taking up so many resources because while Ewido is scanning it's also causing your resident shield to scan every file Ewido scans. Edit: I also experience "page peeling" with Spybot SD during the update process when trying to move the update dialog. Perhaps it's using a higher than normal thread priority.

Tarun Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Dj has it exactly right. Need more memory (RAM), new graphics drivers, new graphics card, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 If it's peeling off, then it's probably that your hard drive is always cranking. You need to find out why this is. See if task manager (control+shift+esc) shows anything as always running at 99/100% CPU usage. Maybe you have a service running that is being bad (like stupid cisvc) or some malware... or maybe you're running XP on a system that is more suited towards Windows 98/Me... lots of things. Post a Belarc Advisor log or something.

Also I have no idea what a Belarc Advisor log is! I know I'm a pest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
