Re: CPU 100%

Did your Anti-Virus block the virus or did it actually deliver it's payload
?
I don't follow your comment about i386 (Intel) - are you saying that in
Device Manager, Processor category your CPU is incorrectly identified ?

From your description it sounds like the computer is still infected. I would
run these two on-line scans, both allow for removal of infected items.

It also helps when describing your issue to list what Security Software
you have. Different products have various levels of detection and your
software may not be providing enough protection.

Hi, my CPU is 100% all the time, from the second I log on. When I first
got
it, my computer was running XP Home AMD Processor, until I got a virus
from
one of those electric picture frames (which when I plugged it in it
formatted
my hard drive). Now I have installed XP Pro. setup for an i386 (Intel)
processor when I actually have an AMD. Could this be why it is 100% all
the
time, or do I have software making it that high? I'm running: Apache
2.2.2;
MySQL + Administrator; IIS 5.1; Nero MediaHome Server (rarely); Winamp
Beta
Orb Server (rarely); MailEnable server; and Remote Desktop. I'm using
less
than half of my ram and page file. Is windows misreading the CPU threads?
Thank you.
