    100% CPU usage all the time!!! Help
    « on: May 03, 2009, 01:55:39 PM »
    Hi,
    My computer is running xp sp2. With kapersky labs virus protection.
    Whenever I start up the machine is goes straight to 100% cpu usage even when no programs are running. The internet connection is also very intermittent and has only been this way since it got infected.
    I have run normal virus scans with no help.
    The file: Toolbar; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30) also keeps appearing in my documents after restart, even after they have been deleted.
    Posted below is the superantispyware log, then malware bytes log then HJT log is attached. If you can spot the virus/malware then please help. Thanks heap in advance...

    Do you know what the .NET CLR is?

    If not then why are you deleting it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [StopHid] StopHid.exe <- Do you know what this is?

      Evilfantasy,
      Thanks for the reply. Point taken on .net files

      No I dont really know what stophid.exe is. But I do know that it is a non esential file that can be infected...

      So what to do next?

      P.S. there is another application in the same folder called setform.exe about 500kb in size, I have no idea what it is and it dosent seem to have a ligitimate purpose there.

      Thanks,

      evilfantasy

      • Select either Home User or Company
      • Select the appropriate Yes or No to receiving marketing information
      • Click the Free Online Scan button
      • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
      • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
      • When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
      • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
