    If I play an MP3 and then skip to another track with Media Player, after a while the player locks up. It seems like the processor is not fast enough. And oddly sometimes my user name and passwords vanish from other programs. But If I wait for a couple of minutes they re-appear.
    I've scanned with Avast with negative results

  2. WMP isn't your problem. You have some kind of malware problem.

    Nevertheless I think jagabo's right. Try one of those good web scanners ... unfortunately when I was using windows I could remember their names. Since I started using linux I'm forgetting them since I don't need it anymore.

  5. didikai,
    Try SuperAntiSpyware, it sounds like a trojan. WMP 12 is notorious for locking up and skipping songs, I wish I could go back to 11 on my Windows 7 rig.

    Found and removed 158 threats. Computer is a lot faster. Solved another couple of symptoms I had. WM is still a little bit flakey tho' But not as bad as it was.
    Thanks again to all.

    Windows Media Player still locking up.
    Nothing shows with Avast or Malwarebytes. But when I run Superantispyware, it gets as far as this then locks up.

    C:\windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\ local\microsoft\media player
