I'm having a problem with my PC which is running Windows XP. It has
become very sluggish, and I even had to re-boot a couple times when
the Icons wouldn't show up on my Desktop. (I might have opened
something I shouldn't have).
As it gets to the desktop I briefly see a box that I think references
updating the PC settings. And I managed to write down the following: C:
\WINDOWS\system32\WinDir\svchost.exe.
When I open task manager CPU usage is extremely high, and in
"Processes" there are about seven or eight instances of Svchost.exe,
along with the following:
avast.setup
msmsgs.exe
ctfmon.exe
jusched.exe
wuauclt.exe
realsched.exe
zlclient.exe
AvastUI.exe
alg.exe
wscntfy.exe
ForceField.exe
taskmgr.exe
AvastSvc.exe
ISWSVC.exe
explorer.exe
vsmon
wdfmgr.exe
jqs.exe
lsass
services.exe
winlogon.exe
csrss.exe
smss.exe
spoolsv.exe
System
System Idle Process
A Zone Alarm Security Alert said the following: "SFX Cabinet Self-
Extractor is trying to access the trusted zone". But I clicked "Deny"
because I'm not sure what that is.
Things are almost normal as I type this, but I'm sure that will
change. Any ideas on what to do would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
