CPU usage with winlogon.exe

G

Guest

I have been following the Task Manager with my XP SP2 Tablet PC 2005 MUI,
because
winlogon.exe is using most CPU resources (50..99%). It is very annoying! It's
hard to get my own work done! Is there a problem with the Tablet PC system
or is a
virus or bot interfering the machine? Can you please help?

Two ways to tacke your problem.

It could be malware. No anti-spyware programme detects all malware.

Install and run HijackThis:
Download HijackThis (Freeware)

Finally run HijackThis and post the HijackThis log to the HijackThis
forum here:

A second approach is to download Process Explorer.

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

To ascertain which service is causing the problem select the image
producing the high CPU usage, right click, select Properties,
Services. Note there are the full names and some explanation of what
each service does.

You will find further information on Services here:

To trace the particular Service involved you need to turn off each
service in turn and then restore it noting what effect it has on CPU
usage. However, you need to take care and watch what other Services
are dependent on that service. When you click on the Dependencies
tab allow it a little time to display the information.
