View 10 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Alright the last few days my computers been very slow, whenevr i hit ctrl+alt+delete the cpu usage that is is showing oin my computer is 100% is there a vius or spyware that causes this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows Task Manager shows my CPU usage at 50% when my computer is idle. The only process it shows running is the last one on the list "System Idle Pr..." What is going on here? Also sometimes Windows won't shut down the normal way and I have to just turn the power off. Could these problems be related?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIve been having problems with my desktop computer. If you open up any program, the CPU usage immeaditely goes from like 0 to 100% and occassionally it will shut down and restart. Such times are when I try to run ad-aware or AVG. It will shoot up to 100%, maybe run for a minute then restart the computer. I cant even delete some files because it just restarts before they delete. So, I tried to do a restore since the last time ive been home when it was working good, about a month ago and it did nothing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got my HP back from Best Buy, where they had to 'clean' it due to spyware, adware problems (no more Kazaa for the kids). Evidently, I had the nail.exe file, in addition to others. After 12 days, they gave it back to me, completely clean (according to them), with Norton Internet Security installed - in the process they lost all my e-mail files, but oh well. Anyway, I haven't had the darn thing back 2 weeks and I'm getting 100% CPU usage, with explorer.exe being the main hog. When I delete it in the processes list, the CPU usage goes down to 4%. I really don't want to take this thing back to BB for them to keep for another 2 weeks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to find the button to shut this off but I can't. The problem is that when I am in explorer and click on any links they open up in firefox. Even in messenger when I click on mail it opens firefox instead of explorer. And so msn takes me to a different page then what it usually does and pisses me off. Also like when I want to do windows update it opens up in firefox so it does not work. I like firefox and use it for almost everything but there is just some thing explorer can do that firefox can't, ie: like update windows. So how do I get it to work like it is suppose to?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, 2.2 GHZ and 256 RAM.is constantly running at 98-100% CPU usage in task manager. I have run ad-aware, spybot, AVG, microsoft antispyware, checked my HJL for an strange occurences, ran chkdsk, This seems to be a pretty large problem, since i've been spending considerable time on the internet trying to find solutions, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWin Xp - Service Pack 2, I suspect the problem lays with a trojan dropper. In fact I'm certain. At the moment I am getting a trojan dropper putting random files into my temp internet files every 3-4 hours - the latest file being SQL.AVG?? Norton deletes it as soon as it appears but I'm certain its causing my 90-100% CPU usage on explorer. exe. Its been doing this for about the last week.
I've got all of these installed - ZoneAlarm, Norton, AVG 7.1, Ad-Aware Se and even Microsoft Anti-Virus. I updated them all and went into safe mode and ran every single one of them on full scan and none have found the culprit. When booted back into normal mode the trojan dropper has started again and cpu usage back up to 100% for explorer.exe. Basically everthing crawls after 5 or so minutes of reboot.

When I go to My Computer and then double click the drive icon, it brings up another window that's just a search window allowing me to search the C drive. Usually when you double click it just browses to whats in the drive, but I don't know what happened. I can right click the icon and select "Explore" and it will work fine, but I do not want to have to do that every time. Is there some option I must have turned off maybe?
View 8 Replies View RelatedAn interesting problem has come up recently. If I try to open My Computer to access some file or what not, instead of bringing me to the list of drives, I get a blank white space. It never loads. From here, I can Cntrl Alt Delete and clearly see that the CPU usage is at 100% and that it is Explorer that is taking up 99% of it. I end the task of opening my computer, and then I try again and everything is fine until maybe five minutes later when the problem reoccurs. I have run virus checkers and adaware and neither has shown any problem
