After a year of happily running XP with SP1 and selective
SP2 updates, it has started to consume 100% CPU and
behave in very unstable manner, often freezing up so I
have to reboot.
Even when I am not doing any work at all, CPU usage is
100%!! svchost.exe, winamp.exe, ns.exe,
smsls.exewmmon32.exe seem to be running like mad,
although I am not doing anything and no programs are
open. Have even done end process, but the process just
reappears....!!
I have an array of spyware and ad-aware installed that I
update & run regularly, no use this time....
Any clues????? please....
