Help Needed! PC Running at 100% CPU Usage

Today, my PC has decided to be exceedingly slow, due to the fact that the CPU Usage is up to 100%. I don't know why, nor can find the cause for this. I thought it might be the W32 blaster worm, but running the removal tool didn't work. No spyware is present according to adaware, nor are any viruses.

My Hijack!This thread is the following:

I have no idea why it has been caused. My Pc has been formatted in the not too recent past, so the system shouldn't be overloaded. The only thing I can think of is a parasite being present.

If anybody could help me get running up to full speed again, I would truly appreciate it.

Hey first off before you post read the stickies:

And if your CPU usage is 100% just control Alt Del for taskmanager under proscesses to see, if you can, what is taking up all the juice.

Hope this helps and please take time to read the stickies.

 

Hi Dave,

You are running HijackThis Improperly! You must place it in its own folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis. Also, yours is a wee bit out of date.

Please check out the links that Destructo posted for the proper way to scan and post a log. Also, take a run through the Cleanup Tutorial.

It looks like you have the WORM_RBOT.PZ.

Best,
PP
