    CPU running 100%, using XP Pro, SP1

    Yesterday morning, upon doing search in google, I happened upon a malicious bug. All of a sudden there was a pop-up explosion and my computer went to 100% CPU. Going insane sinceI have been at the computer for 2 days now and can't fix it.

    I disabled systerm restore
    Ran adaware in safe mode and regular mode.
    Manually deleted registry keys
    ran Norton (no virus found)
    restarted and some had reinstalled inself (went from 662 object to just around 40)
    repeated above steps numerous times with same result.
    ran xoftspy free scan found 17 different spy/ad/malware names
    downloaded and ran hijack this and this is what I came up with:

    Many thanks to whoever can help me. It will be much appreciated.

    Hi Tixie,

    Yup, you have some baddies in that log! However, you are running HijackThis Unsafely and your Windows XP is Waaaaay out of date. AFTER we get you cleaned up, you will need to visit Windows Updates and get Updated!! Please read and follow the instructions below carefully!

    First, please start with the Cleanup Tutorial HERE:

    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan and Virus Removal

    There are only a few of us Volunteers who regularly offer advice in this forum. Running through the above Tutorial will remove a lot of stuff that would otherwise clog a HijackThis Log and will save us valuable time.

    Please let us know the steps that you are able to complete and the ones that give you problems. Note that you need to be in Safe Mode with System Restore OFF (if you have it) and have the Viewing of Hidden Files ENABLED as per the instructions in the link. Make sure to do the Online Scans.

    Post back and let us know how you fared. Also, send us a HijackThis Log. Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

    Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.99.1) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder – C:\Program Files\HijackThis! Should you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis v1.99.1

    Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

    Please save your HJT Log as a .txt File and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    Best luck :)
