100% CPU Utilization

[Guest]

Any seen this? Out of no where, the CPU utilization stays at 100%. Shows
services.exe is hogging most of it.

Many viruses, trojans and malware disguise themselves as services.exe. What
account is the process running under? Look for something in msconfig that
loads a fake services.exe.

You have some sort of virus/malware infection.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Make sure you do the preparatory work and also run either Sysclean or David
Lipman's Multi_AV:

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
