My laptop is suddenly very slow?

[Guest]

Even when no application is running the laptop shows 100% busy.
A process called FNRB32.exe is consuming a lot of computertime.

Hi

Try searching for any spyware you may have on your system:

Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com
Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Also run a virus-check on your system with the latest definitions for your
anti virus program.

FNRB32.exe is part of the F-Secure Antivirus program. Of course, malware can
be named anything and it is always wise to make sure your computer is
clean:

However, you should contact F-Secure's tech support for this problem first.

If you suspect that this is not FSecure, or if you don't use FSecure,
please reboot in SAFE MODE and run a scan with your antivirus software
to see if it can detect it.
