My computer is alt tabbing randomly in 3d applications

~~craig588~~ · Aug 27, 2003, 03:15 AM

I have no idea why, but my computer keeps randomly minimizing my games and benchmarking programs for no reason at all. I have no idea whats happening. Does anyone know whats going on or how to fix it?

checked for funny stuff running in the background?

Yep, I just checked that out and was coming here to post the results. I found a new spyware program that spybot doesn't detect. I terminated it and then manually removed it from the regestry and HD.

Come to think of it, I should have saved its details so they could add it to an update of spybot.

My games and benchmarks are running fine now.

I have that problem too. Never figured it out.

It happens every minute or so? look at your processes, and look for a file that takes up about 5 megs, I think its 4 letters long. maybe you could copy/paste your whole process list here because if I saw the name of the file agian I would recognise it.

Nah, it only happens to me when I first start up games.... ie. CS, GTA3, Vice City.

Ok listen up, i was at a customer this week and he had the exact same problem! Now he had anti virus program installed, so i thought it wouldnt be a virus, after a hour of fucking around, i saw a little program "testing.exe" getting active sometimes and shutting down again... I removed the virus scanner, installed norton, and let him scan, and he said this "testing.exe" was a lil virus, i removed it, problem solved... I hope this might be some help to you too!

But my computer scans 2 days a week and it's never found a virus, at least, not that one, or for that matter, any.

For mine i was messing around with my Task manager, went to processes, looking at everything, i cancled out a thing like "2342e.com" there were about 4 with all different names, after that it stopped, But does anything know how to get rid of SVC.host?
