CPU maxing out
Friday, September 25, 2009 by PoSmedley | Discussion: Community
This is wierd. My CPU's keep maxing out. When I look in Task Manager, explorer.exe is running from 40 to 60 or even 80%. I have run AVAST, Trend Micro, SPybot, and even uninstalled AVAST and installed Comodo.
Trend Micro found SPYWARE_KEYL_KGBKEYLOG and removed it. FreeFixer found a folder in my Programs called 'Runit'. INside that were 'runit_32', runitu_32', and a text file that had nothing in it. ALl are fixed. Yet nothing has changed.
I looked this up and found people having numerous problems to mine, but no consistent reasons behind it and no solutions. The most common had to do with creating a new user account and moving your files over. However, I tried to do a system restore and after I ran it it said it was unsuccesul. I also am unable to create a new user account or edit mine or my wife's.
RUnning WIndows Vista Home Premium SP2.
ANy one else run into this?

Thanks. I think I'm going to concentrate on getting the stuff off the drive for now. I've been trying to fix the thing for a few days, running scans and all. It's been going non-stop and the CPU has been maxed out most of the time. I'm not sure if I have damaged it physically or not. I'm not getting anything when I boot it. It's just a black screen and the fan and all are racing like there is no tomorrow.
I like the Toshiba 's. I'm on my wifes laptop and it's been really good for her. I upgraded her memory a few months ago and it fly's. She's never had a problem with it.
