My CPU is hitting 100% every 10 - 20 minutes for 2 - 3 minutes, not too sure what it could be.
I got hit by a virus last week and have updated Windows, AV and spyware. Scanned and scanned but still nothing. Run regisrty cleaners / checkers and system performance checkers / boosters, scanned TCP ports and disabled Dcom but still the CPU keeps going outta control freezing my system.
Any help on what is happening is most appreciated as this is driving me nuts.

First please get Spybot S&D to clear out most of the spyware.
Then after reboot:
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Unzip to a permanent folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
then post the log here
Don't know if this will help but it's basically like a better task manager, it shows you the processes you are currently running, and the ones that startup when your computer starts up.
See if it shows what process is the one using all the CPU http://www.webattack.com/get/starter.html
