explorer hangs my computer
« on: August 25, 2013, 06:19:31 am »
Ηι.Ι'm using win 7 and i have  problem's with slow down and hang's on my system.Usually when  i'm trying to use explorer.When i try to open a explorer window,or the mozilla or chrome try to save a file,the computer hangs out for a while.Some times i kill from the task manager  the firefox plugin - container task and the computer a little bit coming back to normal.I have already run for virus,malware,ccleaner,sfc,hd sentinel with results: 100 % performance and 76% Health,disk degragment,yours window repairs with  no help.I dont want to format my computer,i want to fight against this issues.What you suggest me to do?I'm writing here cause is the most useful forum for windows problems,for me.
thanks.

Use this tool
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

With it you can see what is hooked to explorer.exe :wink:

Sounds like you have something hooking itself to explorer and causing the problem.
