System process problem
ML
Did you try Spybot S & D? What did you use originally to identify the process using the CPU? Was it Task Manager? You can investigate Processes using Process Explorer, which is a better tool than Task Manager. Please provide the Command Line of the Process giving any unexplained CPU usage and list the services, if any, that use that process. For further information about Process Explorer see he http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sExplorer.mspx -- Hope this helps.

System process problem
Hello
Spybot detected some entries related to Megaupload Toolbar. Had Spybot to fix those, rebooted the PC but problem still persist. Checked using Process Explorer: System Idel Process = 45.45 Interrupts = 8.33 DPCs = 16.67 System = 28.79 services.exe = 0.76 CPU Usage: 54.55% (did a screen capture to show the above figures) When I compared with another PC, I noticed that 'good' PC's "Interrupts" n "DPCs" were very low. Could these 2 entries be the root of the problem? "Gerry" wrote: ML Did you try Spybot S & D? What did you use originally to identify the process using the CPU? Was it Task Manager?

My reaction to you getting recurring reports of malware having run Malwarebyte and Spybot S & D is that you still have have hidden malware. Are you using a flash drive? You can introduce malware from an infected flash drive. Two possible solutions. 1. Backup your data files, format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP OR 2. Download and run HijackThis and post details to a specialist forum. You may have to wait several days for a reply. Otherwise take your computer to a small computer repair shop for cleaning. It's not cheap. http://us.trendmicro.com/us/products...eTools_9292008 http://www.aumha.org/a/hjttutor.php http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware .. HijackThis Forums http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30 Forums tend to have more reported problems than they can quickly resolve so you need to be patient. -- Hope this helps.
