CPU running at 45%
My CPU is constantly running at 45%. And seriously impedes PC performance.
When I view Task Manager\Processes there seems to be no processes running except for System Idle Process. But CPU Usage: reads between 40% - 50%. I have done multiple virus\spyware scans, and I have a firewall, and still have found nothing. Is there any advice that someone can give me. |

I am using Ad-Aware. I will try the software and suggestions you have given me and let you know. Thanks. "Gerry Cornell" wrote: Wayne What specific anti-spyware programmes have you used? Another approach would be to download Process Explorer. For further information about Process Explorer see he http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../procexp.shtml To ascertain which service is causing the problem select the svchost producing the high CPU usage, right click, select Properties, Services. Note there are the full names and some explanation of what each service does. You will find further information on Services he http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 To trace the particular Service involved you need to turn off each service in turn and then restore it noting what effect it has on CPU usage. However, you need to take care and watch what other Services are dependent on that service. When you click on the Dependencies tab allow it a little time to display the information. -- ~~~~~~ Gerry "Wayne Rollins" wrote in message ... My CPU is constantly running at 45%.

I downloaded Process explorer and found out it is my interupts. Taking up so much CPU usage. How do I correct.
