vgaweb.exe causing CPU 100%

[Guest]

I've done a couple of searches here, and for the life of me, I can not figure
out what the heck VGAWEB.EXE does. But every 5 seconds it completely spikes
my CPU to 100% and temporarily locks the pc up. Then, after about a second,
it unfreezes and continues on until it does it again after 5 seconds. It even
does it in Safe Mode.

Any ideas?

Yes. I'm running XP w SP1, SAV 8.1 with the latest defs and SpyBot 1.3 says
I'm currently clean. Does anyone know if this file is a real windows system
file or if it spyware. I can't find anything on this file anywhere.

Well, I guess I fixed it myself. I still have no clue what that file did, but
I was finally able to locate where the file was hidden. It was hidden under
the %windows%/fonts folder. Just an FYI for anyone else out there that might
run into this problem.
