My computer runs fine with CPU usage at 2 to 4% while idle.... even when connected to the internet it is fine also between 2 and 4% unless I'm surfing then it goes higher which is normal. Problem I am having is as soon as I go to a website that requires java.. which I have the most current version of ... that is when My CPU will hit 100% under the 1 of svchost processes. After that even if I close down internet explorer and disconnect from the internet it will stay at 100% until I turn off My machine and reboot. Is there an error in My javascript, or is this normal?

Screen for Adware, Spyware, Scumware, Diallers, ’Jackers and other unsolicited commercial software.

This scanner is an ActiveX applet. After a short delay in which your browser downloads the control file, you will receive a "Warning Dialogue" requesting permission for the scanner to run. Click "Yes" and the applet will pop up and scan. You will be alerted if any spyware is found. When a spyware or malware is found, you will be alerted and asked if you want to remove it. If no spyware is found, the scanner will disappear on its own.

If nothing happens, or if you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer, click here and choose either "Open" or "Run this program from its current location". Do not choose "Download". http://www.xblock.com/download/xclean_micro.exe</P>
