What is __PTAWIA?

Usually after an hour or so of internet usage the system locks up. Can't open new windows, certain menus won't open, can't right click anything, most icons on desktop won't go anywhere, etc. Only thing that works continues to work is the mouse and that's only if you enjoy moving it around pointlessly.

Rebooting fixes the problem...which is the only reason I know what the name of the thing is cuz it has to shut that down before it can shut itself down. Tried running searches for it but whatever the bloody thing is it's not attached to anything on the hardrive of the same name.

Thought it was just on this one system I most often use but I've run into the same difficulty when I was using Raven's setup too.
