utorrent extremely unstable

emericuh · July 26, 2009

I am running uTorrent (latest stable build) on a Atom 1.6 GHz processor netbook on a 8Mbps/1Mbps connection running XP SP3. Since yesterday, utorrent has become extremely unstable, taking over a minute to respond to any input, including minimizing and maximizing the window.When utorrent is running, System Idle Processes shoot to near 100%. Speeds seem to be unaffected, as torrents continue to download at the same speed they always did. I reduced my global connections to 200, but still no success.

Software that I considered to be conflicting were Spybot S&D, Adaware or AVG, but the problems have persisted even with those applications turned off. I am using the Windows firewall, but seem to be able to find no fault in that, either. Here is a Hijackthis log:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

EDIT: I completely missed the igfxext.exe trojan... better fix that!

Disabling doesn't actually disable a lot of firewalls and av software.

Also, I see bits of norton crap left over, used to have Norton Internet Security? http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Prevx says this could be malware: pcproxy.dll

emericuh · July 26, 2009

I am going to clean up with old Norton stuff, but I doubt it is the issues, as I have had that stuff laying around forever. I will clear it out, though.

As for pcproxy.dll, I am going to hold off until I get a better idea what it is.

O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\pcproxy.dll

Not looking good :<

Try updating AVG and then running it while in "Safe Mode". Are you running any parental control software or anything that MIGHT want to intercept Internet traffic?

I am sorry if this thread is considered old. But I think I know the reason uTorrent is freezing in this case.

Here is your problem buddy:

→_→ AmplusnetPrivacyTools.exe

I was searching for some information about this .exe process, and suddenly found this thread. And I was also having the same issue you mentioned about uTorrent.

I deleted it and everything is superb now.

Hope this help.
