High CPU time with no running apps
Hello, I've noticed that my laptop has been running its cooling fans continuously and no longer shuts down automatically when inactive for a sufficiently long time. Windows Task Manager shows 98% System Idle Process, but Performance Monitor shows an average of 25% used with spikes (to around 50) whenever I do anything. I don't suspect a virus/trojan/spyware.
I have a Gateway laptop running XP Home SP3, 1Gb RAM, AMD 64 Athalon 1.58GHz processor. I've had no luck figuring it out on my own, so here's my Hijak This Log. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Re: High CPU time with no running apps
Hello and Welcome to TSF.
We no longer use HijackThis as our initial analysis tool. We want all our members to perform the steps outlined in the link I'll give you below, before posting for assistance. There's a sticky at the top of this forum, and a Quote:
------------------------------------------------------ Please follow our pre-posting process outlined here: NEW INSTRUCTIONS - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help After running through all the steps, you shall have a proper set of logs. Please post them in a new thread, as this one shall be closed. If you have trouble with one of the steps, simply move on to the next one, and make note of it in your reply. Please note that the Virus/Trojan/Spyware Help forum is extremely busy, and it may take a while to receive a reply. ------------------------------------------------------ |
