Hey, guys. Looking for some guidance. Two days ago my system slowed a good bit and after scanning and cleaning with SpyBot and NAV2005, still have issues. In task manager it show that my CPU is constantly at 100% usage and it seems to be all used under "System" in the processes. I cannot find anything unusual in the registry addresses that Symantec suggests checking for the latest viruses. Not sure where to go next. Any ideas???

spybot is good, but it doesn't find everything. Also use ad-aware(www.lavasoft.nu).
If you still have problems afterwards, post about them here.

Thanks, CB. Since I posted I have scanned with HijackThis and made recommended repairs with no luck and am currently running "House Call" to search for viruses and spyware. Will continue the hunt.
