Double processes open with 100% cpu

November 16, 2006, 03:05:48 AM »
Everytime i start up the computer my cpu usage keeps jumping around. i've cleared all the spyware/virus and stuff i might have on my computer. I've found out that everytime i open a program, 2 of the same processes comes up everytime. i think that has something to do with my problem... if anyone knows anything please respoind to this thread.
Ps: im using AVG as my virus protection and S&D and ad-aware for my spyware.
PPS:could overheat be and issue with my cpu usage?

Which processes are taking up your CPU?
Which program(s) do you start up?
Which operating system?
Have you tried
AVG Anti Spyware
? It finds yet more than Spybot and Adaware together.

Did you update the AVG AS scanner? (Update, manually update - press Start Update, wait for all updates to come in), then go back to Scanner, New Scan.
iexplorer is Internet Explorer.
ventrilo is your Surround Sound Audio system.
winamp is the WinAmp player.
hamachi is your VPN network connection.
As for the one without a name... how much is it taking up in CPU cycles?
If you want, you can always leave behind a
Hijack This log
in
the Security and Viruses forum
.

Download HJT.
Unzip it to a new directory.
Run the HJT execuatble
It'll show you all it found in a text window.
It'll give an option to save the log file as a text file. Do so.
Then copy everything from the text window or from the text file you saved and post it in a new thread in the Security and Viruses forum, with a short description of your problem.

If you want to get rid of the nameless file that's taking up loads of CPU cycles, then yes, you'd better do so.

You'll have to read your motherboard manual on that. So mobo's do, others don't like it.

i think im just going to do a system restore.. do you lose any files while doing it? or does it only change the registry files only?

It rolls back on system files, registry keys and installed programs/changed or added files.
