Answer» For the record, I posted this in hardware because I am not entirely sure this isn't a hardware issue. I hope my motherboard isn't going to crap (I don't have money to replace the blasted thing and I've only got a Pentium 4 3.0GHz socket 478 system w/ a gig of RAM and a 512MB 7300GT AGP 8X GPU as a backup. Its about as useful for gaming as this rig has become. AVG 8.5, I run that, I don't have it setup for live scanning, it drives me nuts and lags performance. Well, AVG is rather known for that. In any case, as you can see from the log, its process is running anyway. Anyway, you can't be without AV program. system process is taking 50% of your CPU cycles. Unfortunately, it can be almost anything, making system process running high, software, or hardware. This is what I propose. Uninstall AVG, using AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/us-en/download-tools Get one of these: - Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html - Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html - free Comodo Internet Security (firewall + AV): http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ NOTE. During installation, Comodo will also allow you to install AV only, or firewall only, if you prefer to combine one Comodo product with some other product. If you decide to install Avast, or Avira, make sure, Windows firewall is turned on, or use Comodo firewall.. If you decide to install Comodo Internet Security, or just Comodo firewall, make sure, Windows firewall is turned off. IMPORTANT! Make sure, you use only ONE antivirus, and ONE firewall. When done, post another PE log. Working on downloading/installing the software, I'm not a fan of Avast, but, *censored* if I can fix this. I can't believe I didn't see that the system and system idle process where using that much of my CPU, this makes no sense. I'll upload a new report as soon as I install Comodo and/or AvastOh *censored*, I was afraid of this, I think the System process has been hijacked, but how the *censored* does that just happen? I haven't installed anything. The firewall told me the System process is trying to broadcast to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBName Bad, very, very, very, very bad. *self censors cussing*... I, of course, with my new god powers over packets, blocked it. Anyway, that report... thing...

I'm just GLAD its not a key logger or some such. I would also like to note that the computer has been hanging on shutdowns since the problem emerged, I forgot to mention this 'til the last reboot. I think its just idling blasting god knows where with packets. I installed a packet sniffer, WireShark, I've heard its good, I can't find anything unusual but there is a flood of packets long enough to make my head explode... I think it might be attacking... Google...System idle process is CPU NOT used, so it should be as high as possible. System process is your problem. Quote i can't root out this cancerous annoyance that has somehow wormed its way onto my driveExplain, please. Are you aware of some infection? |
