That cursor (arrow with the spinning circle) means that Windows is busy doing something. You need to find out what it is doing. What has changed recently on the computer? New programs, new hardware, etc.?

If nothing has changed, open the Task Manager and tell it to show processes from all users. Watch for anything using a significant amount of the CPU.

Also, run a complete malware scan.

I quarantine the horse.. not working still -_-


Assume you have more insects, this is a journey to rule that out. Please use the links I put up, get the two apps, run the long scans in each of them.....I will also get a link to a rootkit app......then run the online ESET scan.

AVG might have been OK back in the day.....not so sure about recently.

You sure? I think AVG is fine. I will download both nevertheless.

Also, I can't find SearchIndexer.exe anywhere. Any help guys?

See, I would be glad if the darn thing wasn't running on mine.

But, finish the Malware scans, then we'll look at what isn't running right after the cleaning. I would run SuperAntispyware next, as linked by Virgorising.
