Hello all!
Since a week I have a problem in my computer, he becomes slower and some processes in task manager appeared and I've never seen them before, some of them are also duplicate.
Like: ati2evxx.exe - 2 times
avp.exe - 2 times
CLI.exe - 2 times
svchost.exe - 7 times

The memory usage and CPU is always at high levels. The problem born after a game of Counter strike I think, but I am not sure if it was that the problem.
I started the Hijackthis and I can post the log if you want. It gave me problems in:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm
O16 - DPF: {15589FA1-C456-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A} - http://w4s2.work4sure.com/c/ge/w4sg...
O16 - DPF: {051D0E35-F4E3-4C8D-B411-AB0875F4C683} (Anark Client 4.0 ActiveX Control) - http://install.anark.com/client/ver...

I have Kaspersky 6.0 and NoAdware, that cleaned all they found, but the PC goes slow like before.

Hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance...

Maybe it's not a security issue at all. Could be worth checking if you have too many background tasks running.

svchost.exe info..

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. There are about 100 services that svchost hosts in Windows XP (and now Vista). It's not unusual to have many svchost.exe loaded.

This post is getting old and nobody is likely to come to it unless they are monitoring it.

You'd be far better off to raise your own post. No two problems are ever alike and that way you'd get individual attention.

I would put it on the XP forum (assuming that's what you're using) because I doubt it is a security issue.
