I looking at my system usage I am at 100% usage when I am idle! Looks like a file called SVCHOST.exe is running 80-95% of my cpu. I guess this is a virus but I ran my Virus scanner and got nothing.

Any clues? My computer is just dead until I figure this out.

Nah, just teaches you to be quick about your installation of updates FASTER after you get a new computer online. For all that time you lagged out, you were sending other people sasser.... (the processor useage is it scanning for open ips and sending itself)

actually it turned out I didnt have it. I ran the fix and said I was clean. I am still massively lagging and I have 2 viruses that are driving me insane.
I am about to say fuck it and go back to my old slow computer that I know works!

I had the same problem last time I reformatted. My roommate ended up looking online for a fix and got rid of it.

Does it also shut down your anti-virus software?

yeah insulot to injury my ISP chose to crap out today and RCN said it would be fixed within 2-48hours!
I am at a cafe' right now as that long away from a comp makes me start shaking.

I ran all my adware etc etc etc I found I have a Virus and just need to go through the long process of getting rid of it. Forgto the name of it but it is annoying. I'll figure it out.
