For the past two days, anytime I type "goals" in game, the whole game locks up and only occasionally will the skill manager pop up, usually after a waiting a few minutes. Even if the window does come up, the game will stay locked up and I have to close it out and end the program. This happens with or without the firewall active, it happens with or without Lich and happens on both SF and Wizard. Anyone ever seen this before or have an idea how to fix it?

I would guess towards some sort of spyware/malware/virii without putting much thought into it.

Might want to run a quick spybot scan to see if your infected, and if so...perform a cleaning. If there isn't an infection, try resetting your browser defaults and cleaning your cache and browing history/files.

If you have to clean, I recommend using the following in the following order.

1. Download the following and install: (Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html), Ad-Aware Free (http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Free-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5), Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol#editorsreview), IOBit Security 360 (http://download.cnet.com/IObit-Security-360/3000-8022_4-10967594.html?tag=mncol), and Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/))
2. Update all the above programs if it is possible for you to.
3. Run Disk Clean-up - Make sure to clean browser history, internet files, and restore points.
4. Restart the computer into safe mode with networking.
5. Run these programs in the following order, 1 at a time, restart back into safe mode with networking if asked to restart after cleaning. (Spybot, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, IOBit Security 360, Ad-Aware Free, and Microsoft Security Essentials)
6. Reboot back into Normal Windows, run Microsoft Update and confirm your computer is up to date.
7. Un-install (Spybot, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, IOBit Security 360, Ad-Aware Free, and Microsoft Security Essentials) - Optional Step.

Check if problem is fixed, if not seek a computer geek or geek forum for assistance.

Ha, missed your edit but I think I fixed the problem.

I have norton antivirus running full time and it never stopped it. I ran a scan, it found nothing. I ran CCleaner, Ad-aware and found nothing. Finally, Malwarebytes got whatever it was. I seem to be back to normal for now heh.

Maybe there is really something wrong going on.
