    High CPU Usage

    Task Manager shows that my System Idle Process is running in 80s and 90s.
    As soon as I open a program CPU of that particular program goes sky high. For instance at the moment I am listening some music via WMP and the CPU is running between 10-15. But if I try to open another program CPU will rocket. And obviously it will take long time to open.
    This behavior has only started recently. No software were installed apart from windows critical updates.

    I have Windows Defender, Spy Bot Search and Destroy, Spywareblaster, Ad-Aware se Personal, Crap Cleaner and Avg 7.1.375. They all are updated and checked.

    Dunedin from XP Forum tried to help me tremendously hard for me but no vail. So I am over here.


    Adware Alert found below but ubless I pay it will not remove them.



    Downloaded SpySweeper, run it and found below. But unless you buy it it will not remove them



    I tried Panda (please see below)It will not remove anything unless you buy it.

    PestPetrol only found "limewire" and "Adware.sqwire". This program will not remove anything either unless it is purchased.


    I downloaded, updated Ewido and did a full scan.
    Here is the full result.

    And the award for longest post goes to.....

    I would go to www.lavasoft.de and grab ad-aware for free. Also try the microsoft MSRT or AntiSpyware apps at www.microsoft.com

    With AdAware, nasties aren't directly deleted. They're put into a quarantine folder, then the next step is to delete the quarantine folder. I leave my quarantine folder untouched for a few days; if everything runs OK then I delete it. This way, you have the option of restoring something if need be. Also, there's a utility called AdAwareCloak that can be activated before running a scan. Majorgeeks.com may still have it; Lavasoft no longer offers it or supports it. Too bad, too, it helped a lot with some nasties that would otherwise shut down malware scanners. If you can't find it, I have a ZIP copy available around here somewhere in the forum that you're welcome to download.

    Thank you for your answers Guys,

    ProfessorU, If you read the begining of my post you'll see that I have all these programs and plus.....
    lgbpop, I am afraid I was not able to find AdAwareClock.

    I am sorry to give so much info regarding my problem, I suppose people get bored and DO NOT read it. Basically I have "ukvideo2, Swizzor, and I would love to have your help to remove them.
    Thank you.

    Delete this file manually; C:\WINDOWS\system32\UKVideo2

    ==

    Download CCleaner and install, then run it.
    1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
    2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
    3. Close when finished.

    Thank you for your answer Cruncie,
    As you may notice at the top of my original thread I have already mentioned that I use CrapCleaner too.
    I deleted UKVideo2 and run CrapCleaner as you required. For the time being I left UKVideo2 in my Recycle Bin.
    Thank you.

    I've attached the AdAware Cloak below. Download and extract to your desktop; in Safe mode, activate the cloak then run AdAware and see if that helps any.

    It is normal for the system idle process to go that high. Mine is currently at 99%. Screenshot included.

    Can run silent runners if you wish to see if anything untoward can be seen running?

    Go here and download then run Silent Runners.vbs. It generates a log. Please post the information back in this thread.
    If you have a script blocking program, please allow the file to run. It is not malicious.

    Lgbpop, thank you for AAWclock. I run it as you advised. I am afraid it did not find anything.

    With Cruncie's advise I deleted UKVideo2 but unfortunatelly it did not help my high CPU problem.

    As you will see from above, I posted Silent Runner Log for Cruncie's inspection. I sincerely hope that you guys can find something in it.

    Thank you for all your help.

    Not seeing anything in the silent runners log either .
    It may well be a legitimate program causing the problem.

    Where is Adwarealert finding swizzor? Can you delete it manually? Personally I have no faith in Adwarealert as it appears on spywarewarriors list of rogue malware removal programs, although from some time in 2005 the problem of false positives was resolved. Which version do you have?

    Cruncie,
    In my original post I have included a screen shot of AdwareAlert, which was indicating that I had Swizzorand Claria. But none of the other scans showed these. Also I can not find it in my hard drive either. Like you said this program is not very legit, I think......

    Thank you for the link you gave me in your last post. I am very greatful to you that you have spend your time for me.

    I hall check my hardware again and see if I can spot something peculiar about this CPU problem.

    Take Care.
