taking up the cpu usage but it alternates with many other processes including
svchost and idleprocesses. The HijackThis log file is below... I hope some
one can help me. Thank you in advance

Please do not post HiJackThis or anyother large file to these groups. There
are many, mamny people who come here who are using dial-up and also pay by
the minute for their downloads. This slows them down and costs them a lot.
You should post HiJackThis Logs to any of the popular forums set up to help
with them. For example take this link and post your logfile there
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30

As you have been told HijackThis logs are dealt with by specialist
forums. However, why do you thinks you have malware? High CPU activity
can be caused by misbehaving programmes and this could be your problem.

How much RAM memory?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Process Explorer provides more information than Task Manager.

Download Process Explorer.

For further information about Process Explorer see here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

A new addition to Process Explorer is that you can now right click on a
process and search Online for relevant information.

Hope this helps.

I don't see anywhere that helpmeplease says anything about malware. The
closest that helpmeplease says is that "suddenly became very slow" and "CPU
usage runs constantly at 100%" and helpmeplease lists a few culprits, none
of which are suggested as being malware.

Did you read what Xandros said about large files? There was no need to
retain the entire original message in your reply.

As you have been told HijackThis logs are dealt with by specialist
forums. However, why do you thinks you have malware? High CPU activity can
be caused by misbehaving programmes and this could be your problem.

How much RAM memory?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Process Explorer provides more information than Task Manager.

Download Process Explorer.

A new addition to Process Explorer is that you can now right click on a
process and search Online for relevant information.

I do snip when I think about it. Sometimes when I did do I get
complaints about that. Seems I can't win <G>. However, 11 kb is not
really going to test a 56k connection.

Yes, 11 kb is definitely large if it is not relevant to the response and
therefore useless.

You are saying that use of HijackThis implies something. I don't make
assumptions such as that. To the extent that malware is suspected, I would
request that the person asking the original question provide clarification
so the conversation does not get excessive such as it is here.

HijackThis was used by helpmeplease to provide data. If you doubt that
malware is a problem then that is useful feedback for helpmeplease. You
however indicated that helpmeplease stated a suspicion that the cause is
malware. Misinterpretation of what helpmeplease said can create irrelevant
discussion.

Hello everyone,
A couple of weeks ago my computer suddenly became very slow. After
a 4 minute startup, CPU usage runs constantly at 100%, mostly
explorer.exe is taking up the cpu usage but it alternates with many
other processes including svchost and idleprocesses. The HijackThis

I do understand that (and feel as if I resemble it too); both in terms of
not thinking about it (I might do that) and in terms of getting criticism
regardlous.

Hi
Copy and paste your logfile here
http://hijackthis.de/index.php?langselect=english and you will see for
yourself that there are some entries that should be fixed although whether
they will solve your problem is another matter.

An extra 9 kb actually plus the extra 2 kb to test.

HijackThis, sometimes abbreviated HJT, is freeware spyware-removal tool
for Microsoft Windows originally created by Merijn Bellekom, and later
sold to Trend Micro.

You are just being argumentative.

That is what helpmeplease is asking; what the information shows, whether the

helpmeplease.
