Default Re: CPU virus question

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of different malwares out there. Many of which could cause this type of problem.

Try using adaware first. If it doesn't solve the problem you may need to attempt to isolate the process that is running and use your administrative tools to cause it to stop running and to not auto-start.

If you cannot isolate the process you can try to do msconfig scenario where only the most basic and vital processes will boot when the is does. From there you can attempt to run adaware again, as well as antivirus and such other stuff.

If you can boot in safe mode it may give you the ability to try to investigate the problem without having it pop up every 3 seconds and causing system crashes.
