I suggest you update your virus definitions and run a full anti-virus scan. Also you download Adaware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove parasites.

Look at processes in Task Manager. It is normal to have a number of Svchost.exe process entries appearing in Task Manager. For the process generating the high usage how is the User described? Next whilst Task Manager is showing high usage change from the Process Tab to the Application Tab. Then select each running Application in turn, right click and select "Go to Process" and see if you can identify the application causing the high usage.

Next select Start, Administrative Tools, Services. Compare the list of services with those shown as Started and for each in turn stop the service and observe the effect. If the CPU usage in Task Manager continues or something stops working restart the service. When you have found the likely cause i.e. the CPU usage stops then post details of what you have found.

Hope this helps.

I have followed the instructions given and have found that the process Control.exe is useing most of my cpu usage.
When i ended the process my usage dropped to approximately 4%. When i ended the process i received a warning about
system unstibility. Is it necesary to have this process running ?

.

I'm running a program called RAM Idle LE and it says the
following about 100% CPU usage.

" However, certain Antivirus or CPU cooling programs may
sometimes make the CPU Usage always appear at the 100%
level, even though this is not the real value. If your
CPU Usage status always remains at the 100% level, make
sure that you check this option to tell RAM Idle to
ignore your CPU Usage status, otherwise RAM Idle will
never have a chance to recover the RAM.
Recommended: check this option if your CPU Usage always
remains at the 100% level."

So unless you are having serious performance problems,
it's probably nothing to worry about.

Enter Task Manager ( Ctrl+Alt+Del ), select the Processes tab and click on the tab over the CPU column once ( or twice ) so that so the column is sorted with the highest number at the top. You can ignore System Idle, which may well be the greatest number. The total of all numbers in the column will be 100.

Thank you for your time and effort in helping me with this issue.
I have noticed that when CONTROL.EXE irunning, any application or folder
that i open seems to take longer than when CONTROL.EXE has been ended
At times i will get non responsive programs or "an error has occured an
application needs to close" I don't think this is a serious problem but it is
annoying
Again i thank you for your assistance
