Winlogon.exe Hogging CPU

[Doc1127]

This process is using 45 to 60% of the CPU. Is there an easy fix to solve
this problem. Running XP Pro with SP2.

Thanks,
Ron

I know what you are talking about.....
I try to delete it but it just keeps putting its self back. I am having a
realy big problem with controlling the .exe's that run on my computer and I
am realy getting mad, I have been looking everywhere but I can't find
anything. So if anyone knows how to "control" windows please reply to this
Thanks,

Hey doc,
It seems the winlogon.exe is not the real one. There may be a virus on your
computer. Have you tried to end that process in the task manager? If not try
to and tell me what happens.

Hope this helps

Hi Yogi, I have tried to replace this file with another one but the same
thing goes on. I have also run a complete virus scan on the PC with no
luck. As far as shutting the process down Windows won't let me because it
is a critical process.

Thanks for replying,
