Re: Computer is really slow

pro.exp is an odd one. The problem is to determine whether it is malware
or an unusual misbehaving driver. Looking in Google does not give any
clear messages. The exp file etension does not give any obvious pointers
to the programme that might be using the file.

You can use Process Explorer to stop the process but it will reoccur
when you restart the computer. It would be helpful if you could post the
path of pro.exp generating the excessive CPU usage. In Process Explorer
place the cursor on Process, right click and select Properties, Image.
This will enable you to stop the process starting by disabling it using
Autoruns. You should also locate the file using Windows Explorer, right
click, select Properties and look for clues as to where the file came
from.

A safer way than msconfig to remove unwanted start up items is to use
Autoruns.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting,
or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck
you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than
editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that
you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information
about the item selected.
