I'm running XP Pro SP2. I have Spybot S&D v1.4, Spyware Blaster v1.3, and
McAfee VirusScan v10, all up to date. I have defragged my hard disk and run
Chkdsk within the last week.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my machine slowed to a crawl, to the extent that
when I'm typing, the screen can't update as quickly as I can type and I have
to frequently have to stop typing in order to give the display time to catch
up! My CPU usage now hovers around 100% most of the time (it used to be
around 20-30% most of the time). If I look in Task Manager it says that the
process that are hogging most of my CPU are "System Idle Process",
"taskmgr.exe" iexplore.exe (if I have Internet Explorer open), and
explorer.exe (if I have Windows Explorer open), in roughly that order
although the order changes every second.
Any ideas?
