I had that happen before also. On my old computer it was happening and I
traced it back to the Real Player. Turns out that Real Player automatically
sends info about your computer and how often it is used to the company but
since I am on dial up and at the time I was not able to get online for
several days it kept on trying to send the info but could not because I was
not able to get online. The end result was that it kept on causing my
processor to run at 100% every 10 or 15 minutes.
In your case though I would suspect that you either have a virus or some
spyware on your computer that is causing this. A couple weeks ago my new
machine starting running at 100%. Even though I use dial up meaning that my
computer is off line more than it is online it did not take me very long to
discover that I had two variations of the sasser worm on my computer.
My anti virus software had missed it (the virus had only been out for a
couple of days) but I was able to figure it out by looking at my process
list and start up list. I noticed a couple of files that I did not
recognize so I did a google search on the file names and quickly learned
what they were and how to remove them.
My suggestion would be to update your anit virus software and do a virus
scan on your computer. If that comes up empty then try downloading SpyBot
or AdAware and have them check for any spyware.
Mark.
