    I have an Asus M32 running Windows 10 Home. Lately the CPU starts running really hard even when no programs are open. If I open up Task Manager, Runtime Broker or a browser seems to be the top culprit, although once I start typing or mousing, the activity dies down until I go away from the computer for a while. Suspecting I picked up malware or something, I ran all of the programs in the Read Me First. Would you please review the logs and let me know what I should do?

    Thank you!

    A quick look at your RunKeys log shows you have a lot of start up items. No malware found. So I suggest you post in the software forum for any assistance you may need to control that.
