Solve : Is there some kind of virus/spyware/etc....? |
|
Answer» I am wondering if there is some type of virus/spyware/etc.. something that might be able to hide and RUN behind the system idle process in task manager. I understand what the system idle process is, but my problem is that it can be sitting on 99%, nothing else showing any numbers, and my CPU usage will still be 30, 40 50 even 100%. This doesn't add up, right? And I know something has to be RUNNING, because I'll be in the middle of a some application and it starts to slow down, or gets all jerky. So I close whatever I'm in, check the task manager, and sure enough the CPU is showing usage ( and it is continues to do so even if i close and reopen it) but the system idle process bar will show 95% or better, and nothing else will be SHOWN running. This happens more on line than off, but it does happen offline. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. system idle process bar will show 95% or betterSystem Idle Process shows the portion of your CPU NOT being used, so it's perfectly normal.I understand that 95% on the system idle process is ok, but why would my CPU usage below still show usage? The system idle process can be at 99%, meaning no resources being used; but the CPU usage will read anywhere from 2% to 100% without anything else showing up running, only system idle process, and that will be 95% and above. Quote why would my CPU usage below still show usage?Do you mean 5%? It's normal too. There are always some services running, even if no program is open. Maybe, you can TELL us, what kind of problem you're having.No, I mean that the system idle process reads 95% or better, and the cpu usage also reads various PERCENTAGES being used; no programs running (or so it says); system idle process 99%; CPU usage will range anywhere between 10 and 100%; How can it add up to more than 100%? There seems to be something running behind, or hiding behind the system idle process. Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program. Click on View > Select Colunms. In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK. Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt. Attach the file to your next reply.Good Morning, I followed the requested instructions regarding process explorer and am wondering if anything was found out of the ordinary. Any updates would be most appreciated. Sincerley, ChristineW#e need the proces.txt file... |
