Alright ladies and gents, I got a real problem with my laptop. This thing loads windows(slowly), then everything in the computer loads slow. I open task manager to see what happens and there are several copies of this one file; xjtHq.exe and then several other files; Cbinbc32.exe, CfgWiz.exe, OSA.exe, FINDFAST.exe, LUCOMS~1.exe, UsrPrmpt.exe just to name a few of them.The cpu in maxed out on processing power and if the task manager is run for long it shuts down the cpu. If i try to run norton it shuts down the system, if i run in safe mode, norton won't load. I've already run spybot and adaware in safe but that just got rid of a bunch of junk. I really need some help on this one folks. Any advice?

you can click start, then run, type in msconfig , click ok, then click the startup tab, uncheck findfast.exe,then click ok. Process File: findfast or findfast.exe Process Name: Microsoft Office Indexing . it's not needed at startup, will autostart when using office. and run an online antivirus scan xjtHq.exe and Cbinbc32.exe sound suspicious. try a second scan at trendmicro.com and choose the complete scan. when you get to that page. (use internet explorer when running online scans) and Lucoms~1.exe is (Symantec), LiveUpdate Engine. it is needed for live update, if you have nav or other norton products installed.

cfgwiz.exe is component of the Norton AntiVirus application. This process should not be removed. osa.exe is installed with Microsoft Office Suite.This program is non-essential process to the running of the system, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. if you don't use office a lot you can take it out of startup as well. click here for an explanation of programs that are in the startup list and what they do

lucoms.exe is a part of Symantecs Internet security suite, so if you no longer have this you can delete/uncheck it.

just a reminder, but, don't forget to disable system restore prior to running your scanning progs. durgan
