Rtvscan.exe Spiking CPU Usage
Jan 21, 2009
I have a Dell Dimension 4300 PC at work running Windows XP Pro SP2 (1.5 Ghz/256MB RAM) on a domain network with Windows Server 2003. We are running Symantec Endpoint Protection Version 11.0.2000.1567. This users PC runs very slow and freezes. When I go into Task Manager, I see the Rtvscan.exe process spiking at 60-80% CPU usage. No other PC's on the network seem to be doing this. I googled this to death and other than increasing her RAM, is there any other solution? I ran a virus scan, and spyware scans and did not find anything.

A while ago my computer started running very slow. In task manager is says svchost.exe and rtvscan.exe are taking up lots of memory. I've run the basic scans like spybot, and defragmented, but nothing really seems to make a difference.

I'm running XP pro SP2. I have a gig of ram and my mother board is an Intel D101GGC. My CPU is Intel Pentium D 920.
If I use Windows Explorer to go deeper than the first level of any tree, CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there. I've disabled System Restore because it wouldn't let me go back in time anyway and this program is a known resource gobbler. Didn't help. I've attached a hijackthis logfile to see if anyone recognizes a Trojan, etc. I would appreciate any help at all.

CPU usage is constantly at 100%. It started acting up a couple of months ago and I uninstalled all the software that I had recently downloaded (games etc) but still have this problem. I think this is also the reason everything just freezes suddenly for a good 2-3 minutes causing me to bang my head against the nearest hard object.Regarding this, in Task Manager --> Processes --> sort by CPU: CMD.exe is constantly using 65-85(keeps on changing) followed by csrss.exe at around 20-30

Out of nowhere a couple days ago my computer began lagging badly. The cpu usage is stuck at 100%, which the system process dominating the usage fluctuating between 70-95%. Now the computer will work decently for about 30 seconds at a time, then it will freeze for 45 seconds to a minute, over and over again, which is highly annoying. I downloaded ad-aware and it showed nothihng, and I am in the midle of a virus scan. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I dont know why this came out of nowhere. ADD ON: When running mcaffee virus scan, it s process jumps to the top fluctuating between 70 and 95. System tops off at like 20, but if I pause the scan it goes back to what it was doing before.

I recently kept getting a blue screen everytime I tried to restart my computer. This happened with my old computer and I ended up having to get a new Hard Drive. Well I was able to fix this problem by booting in safe mode and system restoring to an earlier date. Well now my CPU Usage is always running high, over 30% almost aways, dipping all the way up to 100% sometimes. This is when I have nothing system heavy running, I have Dual 3.2Ghz EE processors and 2GB of Ram.Well I was getting a similar problem last month, it was because of the trojan vundo. I got vundo off a couple weeks ago and no more CPU Usage problems. Well I didn't go THAT far back in system restore. So I did an updated Norton Scan, and updated Adaware scan and an updated spybot scan, still gettin the problem. It's doin enough that I cant watch videos with th epicture being jerky and sometimes it freezes my IE for 15 or so seconds.

I'm hoping I can resolve an issue here. First let me start out by apologizing for this long post, but i'm trying to get as much info out as I can.Recently i've been having big problems with my computer running VERY slow, my computer takes 5 minutes to boot up when normally it would only take 1, my mouse moves very laggy, and I can't start up any programs without having to wait minutes just for it to start. When I look at the performance monitor, my CPU usage is anywhere from 50%-100%...and i'm not even running anything! First let me get somet things out of the way. First off I have a laptop with AMD Athalog 64 2.5 ghz processor, 1.0gig of ram, and a ATI X600 mobility video card. I've had my computer for a little over a month so it's not outdated or anything, and all of my drivers are up to date.
I did a viruscan on my computer which took very long b/c my CPU usage was very high, and nothing negative came back when I did so. I ran adaware and removed all of the adware I had.still didn't fix the problem.
After trying both of those things I decided i'd try to restore my computer to an earlier point. it was successful. That was a couple days ago when I was having this same problem. Well here we are present date, and i'm having the same problem again. I tried restoring my computer to an earlier point again, but this time it resulted with some troublesome problems, apparently an important ATI file was deleted or something (not sure exactly) and I couldn't boot my computer up in normal mode, I had to go back into safe mode and rollback the drivers for my computer to even boot up. That was approximately 30 minutes ago, and here i am now. Obviously restoring didn't help this time because my computer is very slow at the moment.
I don't get it, because both times this has happened, it comes out of no where. My computer will be running just fine, then 'BAM!' out of no where my CPU usage is out of the roof. I'll try restarting, closing everything on my toolbar nothing works. Speaking of toolbars, mine is pretty empty, it's not overloaded with a bunch of crap, mostly just important stuff like firewall and virus scan. I can't imagine that restoring my computer is the only option here. There has to be something that is causing this, that i'm not detecting. Originally I would have guaranteed it was a virus, but McAfee Virusscan isn't picking up anything. And it's obviously some software issue, because when I tried restoring my computer a few days ago when I was having this problem, everything ended up working normally after that. This time when I tried it though, there was no luck.

My CPU Usage is too high. My computer is running really slow because of it. I looked under Windows Task Manager/Processes and System is taking up about 50% of the CPU Usage. It is not a virus because I have been through a whole thread in the Security section and they said I have no infection. This does this off and on. I have been having this problem for a while and then it stopped. I just restarted my computer and it just started again.

Is there anyway to lower cpu usage other than eliminating open processes and applications?

This question is actually going to be for a friend of mine mostly and secondly for me. We have the same issue.We both have Norton Antivirus 2007 and the latest updates We both Have Zone Alarm Pro and the latest updates We both have all the latest drivers for all our hardware and use third party driver toolkits just to be sure about it We both Recently formated and reinstalled windows and made sure we have all the latest windows updates We both scan for viruses and other types of malware religiously For some strange reason my computer will be completely idle and out of nowhere the CPU will start running high (fast).I mean, it's literally out of nowhere because there are no changes in whatever i am doing. I will leave the computer completely untouched, without being connected to the internet and the CPU will just go off on its own running at high speeds out of nowhere. I don't even have a screensaver.

this problem just happened today.. my cpu usage seems to spike to about 50% every 5-10 seconds, and it's become unbearable to work with.i scanned with avg and it detected nothing.. i believe the problem stems from something called services.exe because when i ctrl alt del, i can see in processes that it spikes up to a high amount of cpu usage. i did some googling and haven't found much help on the issue.

I formated my pc, deleted the partitions, recreated them and installed 2 OS of XP in each partition (same way and thing as I had b4). This time my cpu approaches 100% with nearly anything, from opening a window to scrolling down. Everything I do raises the cpu. The only thin I installed are the drivers for motherboard and antivirus. I checked the pc with 3 diff programs for viruses and nothing came up. I can do nothing! Plus I got this windows poping up telling me that I got system critical errors and that my registry is corrupted (?)

Since installing Service Pack 2 on my system (Athlon XP 2400+, Windows XP Pro, 512Mb) I am having intermittent problems with my machine slowing to a crawl. If I use task manager I find that CPU usage is 100% and quitting programs seems to have no effect. CPU usage stays at 100%! Can't remember this happening before installing SP2

I've been having several problems with my PC lately. First, it started restarting randomly without any rhyme or reason. After disabling automatic restart, instead of restarting, it gave me a BSOD that told me one or more of my drivers was misbehaving. As soon as I log in, my CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays there. The strange thing is that it isn't a single process hogging the resources, it's always several processes using around 20% each. The processes eating resources aren't exactly foreign either. Most of the time they are Windows system processes or components of my AV/firewall. This happens to all of my user accounts, but it doesn't happen in safe mode.

I restarted my computer and it took about 5 minutes longer to load back onto the desktop. When I checked the task manager it was at 50% already and it keeps jumping up and down. I scanned for spyware and tried restoring as well.
