Hi Milkybar-kid,<br />
<br />
You could do Start-&gt;Run-&gt; msconfig.exe<br />
Then go to the last tab, and check which processes run at starting up your computer? Disable the things you don't reaaly recognize and run them thru a check on google or something<br />
<br />
Cheers!

I have been trying to clean up a PC that had some spyware on it. I have run Spybot seek and destroy, Ad-Aware and Giant AntiSpyware. They all found problems and fixed them but even though the system appears clear the processor is constantly running at aroung 60-70% and the &quot;system idle process&quot; and the &quot;system&quot; process are fluctuating around the 40-50% mark. I cannot see any other apparent rogue processes and Hijack this doesn't appear to show up anything although I am not expert at reading the logs. Any ideas please ?

CPU running high - suspect spyware

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
