What is thrashing in computer terminology?
Thrashing is a high paging activity. A process is thrashing if it is spending more time with paging rather than execution.
Thrashing is caused by under allocation of the minimum number of pages required by a process, forcing it to continuously page fault. The system can detect thrashing by evaluating the level of CPU utilization as compared to the level of multiprogramming.
Caused by:-
- Global replacement algorithm.
- Under allocation of the minimum number of pages required by a process.
- Very high degree of multiprogramming.
Eliminated by:-
- Reducing level or degree of multiprogramming.
- Use local replacement algorithm.
- While allocating check minimum sufficient frame required for a process.

How do you remove a downloader Trojan virus in a 322dm3d.dll system file?
The dll file could actually be the cause of you getting the downloader virus. First focus on deleting the dll file and then you can run a virus program to eliminate any other viruses on your computer. First find out what processes that dll file has attached itself to. Go to run and enter procexp. When that pops up go to find dll or handle and enter your dll file name. It will specify which processes it has attached itself. If it's not a vital process then you can kill the process and subsequently delete that dll file. If it's attached to the winlogon.exe or explorer processes then here are a few more steps. Right click on each process seperately and go to properties. Under threads you will need to right click and kill each instance of the dll. You will also need to do this with any handles listed. I had to suspend the winlogon handle. Then you should be able to delete that dll. If it's protected and you can't delete it. Move the file to another folder... I moved it to a new folder in My Documents. Then reboot and you should be able to delete that file. Good luck...

What is The first step to all good computer troubleshooting?
Computer troubleshooting is one of those things that is best learned from extensive personal experience with computers and computer problems. However, here are some techniques that can be helpful and certain common problems which you can easily identify: - If you're getting an error code, do an internet search on it. Someone else has almost always had the same problem and has gotten advice on it. - If a computer is crashing (blue screening, restarting, freezing) a helpful tool in finding what's causing it is the Event Viewer. In Windows XP you can access this by going to Start>Run and typing in "evntvwr" and in Vista you can find it by simply doing a search for Event Viewer. In here, you can browse the System and Application Logs looking for errors. Once you find ones that correspond with the crash times, you can generally find some useful error code or information that an internet search will bring up information on. - If the computer isn't turning on at all, it's probably hardware. Try removing different components to narrow it down to the problem. The only thing you really have to have plugged in to the motherboard is the power supply. You can disconnect the CPU, Hard Drives, CD/DVD/Floppy drives, and PCI Cards. Common problems are fried power supplies, bad motherboard (either fried or bad capacitors), and fried PCI cards. - If a computer is randomly restarting or crashing, check the motherboard capacitors. If they're bulging on top (not level) that may very well be the problem. - Malware is a common cause of a number of different problems. Good indications that malware is the problem are slowness, pop-ups (particularly ones about security and spyware/adware/etc.), and link redirection (do an internet search, click on a link, and you end up being brought to some other web page). Ultimately, there isn't a hard, fast set of rules for troubleshooting. It has alot to do with instinct and past experience but the more you do it, the better you'll get.

Does dragon nest have virus if you download it?
Dragon Nest (I will refer it as dn to shorten this passage), should not be a game with viruses. It is from an official website, and no company would ever invest so much time and effort into a game just to scam the customer out of their money. If you were someone frauded, check your website history and read the address code to see if it is actually nexon.net, and make sure you were not redirected to other sites during the download.

Try downloading malwarebytes. It worked perfectly for me to get rid of this huge virus on my computer last time. However I'm having the same problem again and now it isn't working. Anyway try that program first. Download it on another computer that has internet and put it on a jump drive. Then take it to your computer that's having the problem and download. Do a scan and WALA; it should work fantastically now.
What is purpose of a CNR slot?
Communications and Network Riser (CNR) is a interface on a computer motherboard for interfacing a communication device or peripheral. There have been several competing configurations but none of them seem to have really taken the lead.
This article puts it a little better perspective:
= The Strange Case of the AMR/CNR/ACR Slot =
article by: Demir Cutts
=== === Nearly everything inside a PC is designed to be user-installable. The Audio Modem Riser (AMR), Communications and Networking Riser (CNR), and Advanced Communication Riser (ACR) slots are exceptions. Although their presence on many recent motherboards intrigues some upgraders, these slots were never intended as general-purpose expansion slots. All of them were designed to be used by OEM system builders, not by backyard mechanics. Here's what you need to know about AMR, CNR, and ACR slots ; AMR slot : Intel developed the AMR slot to provide an easy, standardized way to integrate modem and audio functions into finished systems at minimal cost, but OEM system builders ignored it in droves. Why? Mainly because the AMR slot took the place of a standard PCI slot, and most motherboard designers and system builders rightly preferred having an extra PCI slot to having an AMR slot of dubious utility. The AMR slot also had limited functionality and no support for Plug and Play. The result was that, although some motherboards included an AMR slot, very few AMR-compatible cards were ever developed and those that were achieved only limited distribution. We've seen exactly one AMR card. ; CNR slot : Intel's answer to the problems of AMR was to redesign the AMR slot. The CNR slot, can coexist with a standard PCI slot, allowing either a CNR card or a standard PCI card to use the slot position interchangeably. CNR also adds Plug and Play support and other features of interest to system designers. AMR and CNR are incompatible, at both the physical and electrical level. Although we have seen a few CNR cards, mostly modems and sound adapters, CNR cards are not much easier to find than AMR cards. ; ACR slot : AMR and CNR are both Intel technologies. AMD, VIA and the rest of the everyone-who-is-not-Intel camp came up with an alternative called the ACR slot, which is found on some Intel-free motherboards. The ACR slot is physically a standard PCI slot connector, which you can recognize because it's turned 90 degrees to the other PCI connectors on the motherboard. In theory, the ACR slot offers several advantages over the AMR/CNR slot, including its use of standard connectors and its additional flexibility because of the greater number of available pins. In practice, we've never seen or even heard of a card designed to fit that slot, so it is effectively a wasted connector. Intel warns that the AMR and CNR interfaces are not rigidly defined, so it is quite possible that any given AMR or CNR card simply will not work in a particular AMR or CNR slot. If your motherboard has an AMR, CNR, or ACR slot, we suggest you pretend it's not there.

How virus can enter in a computer?
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.[1][2] In order to replicate itself, a virus must be permitted to execute code and write to memory. For this reason, many viruses attach themselves to executable files that may be part of legitimate programs. If a user attempts to launch an infected program, the virus' code may be executed simultaneously. Viruses can be divided into two types based on their behavior when they are executed. Nonresident viruses immediately search for other hosts that can be infected, infect those targets, and finally transfer control to the application program they infected. Resident viruses do not search for hosts when they are started. Instead, a resident virus loads itself into memory on execution and transfers control to the host program. The virus stays active in the background and infects new hosts when those files are accessed by other programs or the operating system itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus#Infection_strategies
