>It looks like something downloaded on my PC as when I
boot it up, Windows is running 100% of the time. I found
that program ZSiiR.EXE was the culprit. I stopped the
task and all of its "tree" and then Windows is ok until
the next time I boot it up. Does anyone have an idea on
what I can do to stop it? Thanks for your assistance.

You are infected with a variant of the MS Blaster worm.
There is a fix available for this on the Windows Update
website. Just type "Blaster Worm" into Microsoft's search
engine and they'll direct you to the patch.L
