Title: High CPU usage! Virus?
Post by: andrewl. on 15.04.07, 23:37:32
Hi all!

Since 2 weeks, i have randomly a high cpu usage, even when I am not using the computer. After 2-3 minutes its over, but while the computer is doing SOMETHING, i can't really do anything with it... Is this a virus? I am using Windows XP, and have a router firewall.

thx! Andrew

Hi Andrew,

please check your system for strange software that is running in the background, like spyware or adware. You find programs like the Google-Pack, Ad-Aware and Hijackthis here:
