Re: Control Panel - Administrative Tools, Network Connections responding one time only

It could be malware or other problem such as software conflict. Check the
logs via Event Viewer to see if any error/warnings are shown that could be
relevant. Try booting into Safe Mode to see if that makes any difference
then some startup program/process/service is causing the problem and if that
works msconfig can be used to troubleshoot via selective startup. Use Task
Manager and look at processes to see if any process [other than system idle
process] is using a large amount of the CPU when you experience the problem
which could help identify such. Make sure you scan for viruses in Safe Mode
also and that you scan for spyware also in Safe Mode being sure to use the
latest definitions for any program you use to scan with. If you do not have
a spyware detection and removal program try the free for personal use
AdAware SE. If you don't make any progress you may want to consider doing an
upgrade/repair installation though you would need to first install your
service pack when done [if not included on the install disk] and then all
critical security updates from Windows Updates. --- Steve

Open Control Panel, double click Adm Tools, OK. Go back, double click
either
Adm Tools or Netw connections (or any that is shown under Control Panel in
Windows Explorer - My Computer), nothing happens.

it really seems it's some virus, but Norton AV does not detect any (though
first run deleted some trojans).

Any help?
