I can't figure out what is pinning my CPU. It is preventing Outlook from working and everything else is sllllooooowwwwww. Printing is disrupted as well.
Norton says no viruses but i see a suspect process called CCPXYSVC.exe that consumed 85MB of RAM. I have disabled everything I can but still the CPU is at 100%.
A process called SAgentNT.exe has 98% but I think this is a Norton process.
