explorer.exe running at 100%

[kang800]

The other day on boot up my computer was running at 100% mainly due to
the explorer.exe. It seemed to be running ok when I powered down from
the night before. So far I've done the following:

I tried just to reboot at first
3 system restores, each at an earlier check point than the last
booted with the last known good configuration
bought spysweeper and ran it on normal and safe mode
ran my anti-virus in normal and safe mode
I did the msconfig and uncheck everything that was starting on boot
I'm starting to uninstall various programs
ran a trojan finder program

Is there anything I else I can to find out what's causing this to
happen?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Jim:
You should remove your email address from messages you post. Programs
search messages such as these, looking for email addresses. You will
probably receive a lot of spam. You may want to change your email address.

Now, to your problem. When you boot to normal mode, does your problem
ALWAYS occur?

For how long does it last?

If it occurs every time your computer starts:
1. boot to safe mode. Does it happen?

2. Scan for viruses & spyware, but do NOT post the results here.
I like www.pandasoftware.com/activescan to check for viruses & spyware
missed by other programs.

Spy Sweeper is an excellent AntiSpyware program.
