    CPU at 100% due to infection
    « on: February 05, 2009, 03:14:13 PM »
    When networked computer immediately connects to malicious sites.

    I found some similar symptoms on this site and started corrective action.
    This is what I have so far:
    Computer Info:
      SONY Vaio w/ 2 gig ram  300 gig Hard drive video is nvidia geforce 750 gtx

    OS:
     Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 2
    Original operating system for computer.
    I do not have a recovery DVD the system has a partitioned hard drive for recovery. (Recovered last week)
    Automatic updates are on and installed regularly.

    Anti Virus:
    Used to run spybot
    Just changed to AVAST I like it better

    Actions:
    Avast scan in boot mode found several hundred files for malicious programs and deleted them.
    I can not connect the computer to internet for more than 5 minutes or it will Max out the CPU usage.

    Installed (random's system information tool)
    Logs are:

    log

    My next action is to install combo fix and run it.
