CPU Usage

[Guest]

I recently got hit with the Blast Worm, luckly i beleive my norton anti-virus got it in time but it did some damage. I couldn't get on the internet because that pesky timer would come up and restart my computer. I went on the the microsoft website and followed the steps indicated for getting rid of the virus, after downloading all my updates for my computer i have found that my computer is extremely slow. I checked my task manager and it shows that i am using 100% of my CPU and i don't know why. What should i do...does anyone have any ideas?

You can find out what process is using so much CPU by looking at Processes
in the Task Manager. Let us know what it is if you are not comfortable
dealing with it yourself.

My laptop has slowed very much. When I look at the
processes in Task Manager I am not sure what some of the
processes are, such as svchost.exe. Is there somewhere I
can find out what some of the processes are so I know
which ones are safe to close or terminate?

Also, be sure your machine is truly clean. You may still have a lot of
spyware. Norton doesn't get the spyware. Removal it with tools like
Spybot Search & Destroy and/or Ad-aware.
