sudden slow browsing - CPU flat out

Hello

I have a weird problem. Since 2 days my internet browsing is dismal. I have taskmanager running at the moment and every time I open a website, CPU usage shoots to 100%. I haven't done anything recently and everything worked fine 2 days ago.
Speed Tests and traceroutes/pings are normal, no lag.

I checked the hijack this thing and there are no processes which haven't been on my PC for more than 2 months.

Here is some logs:

Looks to me like you're running NPF 2002. That alone is likely to be the source of your symptoms -- unless you've gotten one of the LiveUpdates that actually works with NPF 2002. See the other threads here.

But everything was working fine until 2 days ago ?

Norton was no problem. It just happened 2 days ago, that everything went slow. That's what I can't understand.

Found the cause. Apparently the Redirect update from last week messed up people's PC's, and I am not the only one and 2002 is not the only version affected.....

I have asked Symantec for an update as to when it will be fixed, allthough they will probably try and fob me off, as 2002 is no longer supported....

Now, does anyone know a work around which doesn't switch off my Firewall or Virus scanner ?

All else failing, will the System Restore function in XP save my day here ? Could I just go back to a day before the update and it would be gone ?

Task manager shows symproxsvc.exe to suck up all available CPU power, which then leads to crashes and slow browsing.

Cheers
Mad

Well, we already knew the first part and I think the second part is incorrect. As far as I have been able to ascertain only people running NIS/NPF 2002 are affected. People running NIS/NPF 2003/2004 seem to have escaped unscathed and those running only NAV 2002 are apparently also unaffected by the 12 May 2004 LiveUpdate.
quote:

I've seen one poster (another forum or newsgroup who did manage to get a response out of Symantec about a week ago. What he was told was no more active (i.e., live) tech support. The KnowledgeBase is still there and Symantec itself publicly stated that it was releasing a 'fix' for the vulnerabilities discovered by eEYE that also affected NIS/NPF 2002. (And, incidentally, they do know about this problem and are supposedly working on a fix for NIS/NPF 2002.)
quote:
Now, does anyone know a work around which doesn't switch off my Firewall or Virus scanner ?
Actually, when I first saw this post, I was hoping that you were going to tell us that you'd found that the 19 May LiveUpdate had contained a fix for the problem, but I see you're not saying that.

As far as I know, no one has heard anything from Symantec to the effect that a fix has yet been released or will be shortly. Also, there's a direct question to this effect over at »Is if FIXED yet?? where you'll note there's also no direct response from any end-user either. Now, I have heard of several people who've resolved this problem: • Some simply switched to another software firewall (these were mostly people with existing subscriptions to NIS/NPF 2002 -- some of which are apparently scheduled to run up through just about this time next year). These guys are mad and have had it; they feel that Symantec simply took their money. • Some have simply disabled NIS/NPF 2002 in the interim while waiting for a solution. (I do not recommend this approach unless you've at least got a NAT router out front, and you'd best be running memory-resident, up-to-date AV/AT software in the interim, even then.) • Some have done the uninstall/reinstall routine for NIS/NPF 2002 and simply ignored the NIS/NPF Program Updates that they are finding when they run LiveUpdate. (They'll accept most of the others, however, but I'm not sure whether they're taking the Redirector Updates or not.) • And, of course, there are some individuals that are simply throwing good money after bad (even if they have currently active support subscriptions which they've just paid for) and are running out and buying NIS/NPF 2004 (something I would refuse to do simply on principle, but I'm sure Symantec loves it). I think that covers the gamut of 'fixes' that I've heard.
quote:

Oops, forgot that one. Yes, some people have indicated success with that approach also, but of course that's only available to people running Win XP, I believe; no joy for the Win 9x/ME users.
quote:

Quite frankly, you need to run something like Process Explorer from SysInternals in order to figure out just what is really sucking up the cycles when this happens.

Let's see . . . what else? There is actually some question as to whether Win 9X/ME users running NIS/NPF 2002 were ever vulnerable to the eEYE vulnerabilities in the first place. Both eEYE and Symantec only identify SYMDNS.SYS as the compromised executable. On Win 9X/ME, that file does not exist, only SYMDNS.VXD. And, at the moment, it appears that AtGuard (at least 3.22.11) is also not vulnerable to these exploits.

At the moment, that's all I know.

There is a version of CoolWebSearch that has that effect.

If you go through the steps here »Security »I think my computer is infected or hijacked. What should I do? you will remove it (assuming that it is not one of the more recent versions of CWS) and most any other known malware.

If you still have problems afterwards, please post a fresh HJT log.

I think JVM is onto something. You should skip my suggestion, unless it turns out that it isn't a NAV issue.

Well add me to the list of people seeing symproxysvc.exe chew up 100% CPU and cause really slow browsing.

I'm running NIS 2002 on WinXP. Anyone have any definitive information as to what the problem is or if it will be fixed?

See »Re: There are times in life when . . . .

If you're going to try it, it would be interesting to know what a File | Find ... on SYM*.* yields both before and after the LiveUpdate, especially files with new dates.

There are no LUs available. I have already applied both and the symproxysvc.exe is still chewing up 97-100% CPU.

Has anyone gotten any info from Symantec or found a way to manually correct this? Web browsing in this current state is not bearable.

Thanks!

Okay, let me rephrase prior query:

It would be interesting to know what a File | Find ... on SYM*.* yields for File Created and File Last Modified dates, also same information for SNDMON.EXE .(There are others who've indicated that LiveUpdate found nothing waiting, so it's sort of important to know what you've got at the moment.)

Okay, your sndmon.exe file is the same as people who have NIS/NPF 2002 working, so that doesn't seem to be the problem (same situation in a different thread at Wilders, incidentally).

I'm sorry, I'm getting confused between what's posted in what thread, so I didn't give you sufficient instructions last time.

We are fairly certain that, whatever is causing the problem, it is some file not routinely found by NIS Settings. If you check you'll notice that all the files you listed are quite old and that's what other people who've now resolved the problem have also noted. So, it's located in some other obscure Norton or Symantec directory (of which you've probably got about half a dozen scattered around your C: drive). As a working hypothesis, the next thing is to find a file, probably SYM*.*, located somewhere on the drive that shows a Date Modified after 1 May 2004 (but presumably before 24 May 2004). The way to find these files is to use Start | File | Find ... or Start | Search | Files ... , depending on your OS, and then search for the wildcard filename SYM*.* . You should find a lot of files, some of which you've already displayed above and have date modified information well before the most recent LiveUpdates -- so you can ignore those. Specifically, we're probably looking for something with a 2004 date. If you find such files, we need to know • the FileName, • the FileSize (to the BYTE, not the number expressed in KB), • the FileCreated date, • the FileModified date, and • FileVersion information (off the second tab) for each such file. You get this by right-clicking on the file(s) listed in the search/find display and then selected Properties in the pop-up menu that then appears. You're going to have to write it down, because it doesn't copy and paste easily -- be careful, every digit is important.

We can then check what you find against what someone else has and possibly identify the source of the problem.

Unfortunately probably is the operative word here; it may turn out to be some other obscure Symantec/Norton file that does not begin with SYM; Symantec is not saying and we're still looking for the source of the problem.

That one is beyond me. I would strongly recommend that you start a new thread for NSW 2003, identify the OS you're using, and detail the precise symptoms that you are experiencing.

However, are you sure that your problems are not related to the DDos Attacks currently ongoing against a number of HTML-based security forums?

I haven't even had a chance to check out »www.incidents.org so far today, so I have to admit I'm not uptodate on what may be happening out there in general.

Okay, thanks, scratching down here.
Randy, I could use a bit of help regarding his NAV entries.

said by sonofjay:
...Do you have a link to the other forum that covers this problem? I'd like to read up on it too.
Back with those shortly, unless you already know how to access the NNTP newsgroup at grc.security.

The above are all interesting because they post-date the 12 May LiveUpdate. On the other hand, I find it curious that the DateCreated and DateModified information is identical.

Need to have someone with a working copy of NIS/NPF 2002 review those.

The above is very interesting; it's a newer build than I've seen anyone else reference, last modified on 18 May and it certainly looks like you got blessed with it as a consequence of the LiveUpdate released last weekend.
