Look in task manager

ThomasTheXPUser · « **Reply #4 on:** July 23, 2009, 02:59:17 PM »

that's wher it says 100% I have an image of it if you want me to upload it

Task manager shows a list of processes and how much cpu percentage each one is using, so you need to see which one(s) is/are the hog(s)

What the heck is that online armor component ? ?

P.S. You can also safely dis-able that AVG watchdog component...
Startup CPL is a great little app for managing startup apps...

OnlineArmor is my firewall, works great.

Can you please post a picture of the Task Manager with the 100% and expand it so we can see ALL the processors and programs running.

AVG is eating up your CPU cycles.
Get rid of it, using AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/download-tools

Get one of these:
- Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html

Why would you ask for this when Process Explorer shows twice as much info than Task Manger does ? ?

I'm sorry, I got mixed up, I did not see the CPU %. My fault.

Also, I have been using AVG Free for a LONG LONG time, I have never seen it do what it has done to other computers. And I never had a single problem with it.

ThomasTheXPUser · « **Reply #16 on:** July 24, 2009, 06:05:17 PM »

i still have folding at home running, but the cpu usage dropped to 7% Thank you guys SO MUCH!! I love this site

So many great helpers!

ThomasTheXPUser · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2009, 06:09:22 PM »

PS I am going to use Process explorer instead of taskmanager always from now on
Thanks for telling me about it !

Broni · « **Reply #18 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:57:12 PM »

BTW, your last screenshot shows fahcore_78.exe (Folding@Home) running 78% of your CPU.

Thanks Broni.
