I have Pentium 4 with Intel 845D motherboard, 512 MB SDRAM with Windows
XP professional clean install running on 40 GB Samsung HDD. Somehow
since 2-3 days it has become extremely slow, in task manager my CPU
usage is 100% all the time, items have disappeared from START UP MENU on
the bottom right of the desktop. Task manager shows CPU usage 100% all
the time, everything is unbearably slow, even when trying to do a
shutdown, it doesn't happen. Shutdown doesn't happen and almost always I
have to switch off my PC directly or reboot it. Please help. Absolutely
any help, even your wildest guess is welcome. Also sometime back I had
that blaster worm in my PC I think, I have installed the DCOM patch from
Microsoft, updated my virus definitions in NORTON 2002 and enabled the
firewall. What could be the problem now ? Please mail at
or reply to this message.
