realplay.exe and csrss.exe lagging my CPU

About an hour after I turn on my computer, a process called realplay.exe
starts using the CPU for no reason. As time passes, it uses more and more
until it gets up to around 50% of it. Then my computer is unusable. So I
terminate the process. Then it's fine for about another hour until a process
called csrss.exe starts eating the CPU in the same fasion. I can't terminate
that one because it's a system process. And then around eight hours after
boot up the computer locks up completely, forcing me to unplug it. I have
tried lowering realplay.exe's priority instead of just ending it, but
crsrss.exe still eats my CPU and it still freezes. I haven't run Real Player
in weeks. What is going on and how can I fix it?

[[RapidBlaster/Rnd is an update which uses pseudo-random filenames which it
fetches from its controlling server www.rapidblaster.com. If it fails to
contact its server it will just use 'RapidBlaster\rb32.exe' as with older
variants. If you remove it, it will reinstall itself using a new name.
Filenames seen so far include:
RealPlay\realplay.exe ]]

It is not recommended you manually uninstall RapidBlaster but use
RapidBlaster Killer - see
