cpu usage hitting 100%

[digi-b]

Hi There,

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.

What services are running on your system? What O/S are you using?

First please get Spybot S&D to clear out most of the spyware.

Short tutorial and download link here: http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

Fix everything SpybotSD labels in red.

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

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I am running Windows 2000 AMD 1.2 with 512k Ram.

I have run Spybot in the last fewdays but will give it a go again.

Have you got another link for Hijack This! as http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ does not work for me?

[digi-b]

i just found it on download.com :-)

[digi-b]

download.com link not working :-(

[caperjack]

I think there server must be down

[digi-b]

none of the links I have tried are working.

I even tried archive.org - close but got an error.

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

Looks like its SERVICES.EXE thats doing the damage but am not to sure.

Also, rename your hosts file in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc to something like hosts.bak or hosts.bak1 and reboot. Hope this helps.

The site was hit with a DDOS attack!!:(

Not a full log ,where is the top part ,with the services that are running .did you save log in note pad and copy paste it here . the scan button turns into save log button .
log looks ok just a few things to fix ,post the top part first before you fix these ..

Only thing that needs to be fixed will be these .

Not sure if the log produced is short because I am running an older version of Hijack This, or the version I DL'd from archive.org is possibly corrupt.
