[FIXED] CPU Usage stuck at 100%... - Page 3

Dayve · 11-11-2005

Will do - There's a .tmp file running in my processes now hogging 80-odd% of my CPU, i made a HJT log of it incase it is any use to you. I definately had hidden files showing when i followed all of your instructions.

I've run CWshredder and the HB uninstaller, then i ran Ccleaner again but the problem is still there. Many thanks for all your help so far but i must go out now and i shall be gone for 2-3 hours or so, so i shall resume posting then.

Thanks again,
Dayve.

Yup , that can help. O0 That gives me atleast a location of it.

Can you download KillBox by Option^Explicit from HERE.

Double click on Killbox.exe and then check the delete on reboot button.
Enter the following filepath and filename into the "Full path of file to delete" box

C:\WINDOWS\System32\1024

Click the red circle with the white x and allow your computer to reboot.

Done it, and i hate to say it but, once again, the problem still persists. I've made yet another HJ log for you although it basically says the same as the last. The C:\WINDOWS\System32\1024 file that i have just deleted has appeared again as soon as i reboot, and a process called ld71BB.tmp is hogging anywhere between 60-85% of my CPU constantly...

Let's try some other things..

First please download and run Stinger:

http://download.nai.com/products/mca...-i-n-g-e-r.exe

And then Spysweeper:

Download and scan with Spysweeper from:
http://www.webroot.com/consumer/products/spysweeper (the trial link is on the right)

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
Click on "Options" > "Sweep Options" and check "Sweep all Folders on Selected drives".
Check "Local Disc C" and under "What to Sweep", check every box.
Click on "Sweep" and allow it to fully scan your system.
When the sweep has finished, click "Remove" to remove any items found.

Exit SpySweeper and reboot your computer.

NOTE: After Spysweeper has finishined and removed any items found, it is important that you exit and reboot your computer right away to ensure the infection is fully removed.

After that run one or more online AV scans from here:

http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=...irus+scan&meta=

And last please run silentrunners:

http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip

Unzip into its own file, then double click to run it. After a couple of minutes, a log will open in notepad. Paste the contents here please.

Just ran stinger, although i don't think it found/removed anything... Or at least nothing popped up to say it did, when it had finished it just said -(ex)191,999 files clean... Then it created a .opt file on my desktop, what should i do with this?

Going to do the other scans now.

It should tell you when it found something , so im afraid it didn't do anything..

But you can delete the .opt file now and also the app itself. (or you could keep it ofcourse)

Let's see if the other scans find anything.
