AthlonXP 2400+, 512MB RAM, WinXP with servicepack1.
Takes too long to startup and shut down.
CPU usage is 100% all the time.
It is look like svchost.exe is taking up 75% of CPU.
Cant update the latest security patches. It downloads
and install the patches. But, when I check again it is
not there.
I tried Symantec's System works and Trend Micro's
House Call - No virus found. I tried 'Ad-Aware', it
found something and fixed it. But, the problem is still
there.
This second time it is happening to me. I dont want to
format the hard drive again. Please somebody help me.
 
Adware is intentionally designed to be difficult to remove. Removing it can
seriously damage your system. If you know the specific name of the adware
that was removed, you may be able to find a 'clean up' tool on the Internet.
But there's no guarantee. Your only other options are to restore your system
to a point before the adware was installed, or to reformat.

If this is the second time this has happened to you, the best thing you can
do is to learn how to protect your computer from adware in the first place.
