HIGH CPU USAGE

[Guest]

HI
My machine has been running perfectly. Suddenly the other night it slowed
down progressively until it was almost impossible to use. Since then when I
start up it is fine but as I use the machine over the period of aprox. an
hour it starts to slow down. When I press ctrl alt del the cpu usage graph
jumps from anywhere from 10 to 30 up to 100 percent constantly whether I am
using a program or not. It will continue to do this until it seems it goes to
100 percent and sits there and I can not even use the mouse to scroll around.
I have run my virus check and also Adaware etc. to no avail. Can anyone
explain this problem to me and how I may fix it.

Also check the Processes tab to see what process consumes the cpu/mem

You could still have a spyware issue. Try several different programs. The
page below details several fine products. Give Webroot SpySweeper a try if
you haven't already. It's among the best.

Youre best bet for that is to follow the instructions outlined in kb310560
MsConfig is where a microsoft tech would start.
