After startup, the processes mstask.exe, system.exe, hql.exe, nvmqi.exe and faxshellm.exe initially take 99% CPU time, after a few minutes faxshellm.exe alone takes 99% and keeps doing so until stopped. About nvmqi.exe and faxshellm.exe there seems to be no info on the web. Is malware involved?

Just while waiting for a newly ordered computer, my current workhorse became nearly useless. Drag, drop, copy, move (Win 2000) stopped working. Some 5 year old postings on the web offered guesses rather than solutions, and the Microsoft suggestion regarding dcomcnfg has no effect. Any other suggestions that might work?
