vsmon, winccfg, and svchost taking up lots of CPU

[Gary Roach]

i'm working on a computer that is going extremely slowly. the task manager
shows the processes vsmon, winccfg, and svchost taking up all kinds of CPU
(the total CPU usage is 100%). i don't know what vsmon does but when i try
to kill it i get an access denied error. anybody know aht this is? this
computer has had spyware on it but according to adaware it's all gone. i
also had to run a utility called winfix to fix the winsock because the dns
resolution wasn't working. any help is greatly appreciated,

VSmon is from Zone Alarm Firewall
Winccfg -- never heard of it and neither has google(did you type it right)
svchost -- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314056

Run spybot and hijackthis - just adaware alone is not enough.
