Re: Vista Slow and using 100% CPU alot

Hi NeWcS

There isnt any malware showing in your logs, lets dig a little deeper and see if we can find anything that may be causing the high CPU usage

Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan. This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
  • Once the short scan has finished, we need to change the default settings.
  • In the Menu Bar, Go to Options>Change Settings.
  • Click on the Actions tab
  • Using the drop down menus, change each item under Objects and Malware to Report
  • Next, mark the drives that you want to scan.
  • Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
  • Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
  • Click 'No to All' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
  • After the scan has completed, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click File and choose Save Report List
  • Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
  • Close Dr.Web Cureit.
  • Post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.
