such statements are kinda funny (or not - depends of the pov )

well, because it didn't find anything - doesn't means that there isn't anything to find

Either way, I think the chance for a heat-problem is bigger then malware if you look at the symptoms.

Since it's summer, you should check the heat transfer paste of the CPU. It may be vaporized.

some well meant advice:
As you never know what your brother really does on this PC... -> better get your own.

It's some kind of unwritten basic rule (at least for me): don't share your PC. ever.

Amen to that. Could not have said it better.

Would you loan your toothbrush? I rest my case.

I'd rather compare it to one's wife than toothbrush.

Dear Abandonia,

My partner and I share toothbrushes every now and then, do we need to check for bad sectors?

Sincerly,
Lulu

Have you tried going in and Disabling all Plugin's and Extensions?

I had similar problems with Firefox after upgrading and that worked for me!

Just go to Tools>Add On's and disable everything and see if that works. If it does, then enable each one, one by one, until it starts to happen again. Then you know which one is the problem!
