My system process is hogging the CPU usage of my server, I cannot figure it out. I have eliminated the possibility of spyware, viruses, etc. because I have used multiple programs to scan for them. Does anyone have any suggestions or tools that I can use to get this resolved?

hello all similar prob last nite i faced, (29.12.2005)around same time of dkoll , in task manager ,processes , services.exe is taking all usage, but i cant stop this process as access is denied always,there are no applications in the task manager ,and desktop takes 20 mins to show program icons, need help , plsssss help each other

in processes of task manager, which one is listed to be using the most memory/cpu?

I've run in to a similar problem before on my laptop running XP Pro. It lags my system like crazy and the HD wasnt running at all. After a few times I realized that there was a weird process when I open the Windows Task Manager. The next time I started the program, the first thing I did was open Task Manager and as soon as the process showed up, I force end process. The system was fine afterwards until next restart. I googled the web for that process name and some guy posted ways of fixing this problem. I'm sorry that I forgot the name of the process so I cannot give you any detailed information but I was pretty sure it was a trojan. This trojan somehow bypassed my trojan remover so it wasnt picked up. How this helps a bit.

atul You'd be far better off raising a new post rather than joining someone elses thread. Just choose your Windows system top left of this page and away you go. Reasons: No two problems are ever alike, you'll get immediate attention to your own problem, we will know what OS you are using, and we'll avoid confusion about who is responding to who. DerekW
