I just started having this problem today. I was looking for something on the net, and I was refusing all this programs to install themselves on my computer. In one of these pop up windows I noticed that it said something along the line of "roing files being installed". I didn't think much of it, but I noticed that immediatly after I closed the window everything started running MUCH slower. Now when I try to access ANY of my hard drives, explorer goes up to 99% System Process and the computer crawls at a slugspace. Can anyone help me with this problem? I went into safemode and I used ad-aware and deleted all spy ware, went into add-remove programs and deleted all unfamiliar programs, and I used hijackthis and got rid of some unfamiliar things that it listed. There are things in the log file I am unsure of though and would appreciate ANY help I can get. II dont want to have to go through the pain of reinstalling all my programs again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Here is my hijackthis logfile.

Oh yeah, I have 1.25 Gigs of DDR2700 Ram too.

Sorry guys, I fixed the problem. I found some similar problems on this forum and fixed using combination of solutions. Thanks for the help that you gave to other people so I could be helped. :)

I see you fixed it, my post anyway. You have more... Jonny, thanks for giving enough info on your problem. This should be posted in the security and virus forum, hope Justin and kevin let this slide. Put a check mark next to these, "fix checked" next reboot. The items in bold caused 100% cpu usage, remove others also.
