system processes taking up too much power?

Ruzzy · 10-14-2005, 09:23 AM

There are 2 system files on my computer that i think are taking up too much power, the first is 'svchost.exe' i know this is critical, and the other is 'winjava.exe' upon startup 'winjava' takes up about 70-90% cpu power, this sometimes relaxs to say about 10-% or it stays high. Most of the time 'svchost' decides to take up all the cpu power and make my pc lag like a snail. Whats causing this and how can i repair it?

Sometimes 'svchost' finds it funny to terminate aswell so im really unsure about whats happening, plz help im totally

Info on WinJava.exe

Try these steps:

On-line Scanners
Scan your pc with 2 of these free online scanners:
Panda ActiveScan
RAV AntiVirus
Housecall. Be sure to put a check the box beside AutoClean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download / Install / Update / and Run:
Adaware SE check for any updates before running it.
Get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. You can download it at this SITE
To run this tool, install to the hard drive, then open Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection.

Download and install Spybot S&D . Run Spybot and click on the 'Search for Updates' button. Install any updates that are available. Next click on the 'Check for Problems' button. Let it run the scan. If it finds something, check all those in RED and hit the Fix Selected Problems button. Exit Spybot. If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.
