Winlogon.exe problem

[Amit]

Hi,
My computer is running windows 2000 professional edition and I m
having some weird problems with the winlogon.exe...5 or 10 mins after
turning on the computer the computer slows down and on opening task manager
I can see that winlogon.exe is hogging the processor by using 99% of the
resources and the mem usage also starts increasing really fast....from 500k
it jumps to over 20k I cant figure out the problem.....I have been havin
problem with ad ware programs and have used hijackthis to remove some
malware thinkin maybe those programs are causing this....can anyone help me
with this problem....thanks alot

Amit
