I have a dell Dimension 300 running on Windows xp.When i started pc this morning it was running slow. I went to task manager under processes and it shows that under System its at 92 and CPU Usage is 100%.Im not running any other program at the time.Why is my pc runnind at 100% usage.Any ideas on how to fix this? Thx in advance!!

Hiyas Lamontc and Welcome to the Forum!!!

100% usage means there is something there that probably should not be. 92 processes for XP isn't all that bad, but there are things like Office (should you have it) that add things that don't need to be there.

Could you please click on the Prework in my signature and run those programs?

It's very possible you have some things in there that shouldn't be, ok?

Please add the resulting logs to your next post, and if you have any troubles in doing that, please let us know!!

I'll mark this as open to encourage others in the know to come and take a look

Thanks for your patience.

Hey I tried getting those appz but my pc wont allow me to run them.I downloaded the Malwarebytes but when i run the program my pc freezes.

Welcome Lamontc,

Please copy the executable for Malwarebytes and rename the copy to xxx.exe. That should allow you to install. If you have the same issue when running the program, also copy and rename that executable. Alway leave the Original file named the same as Malwarebytes uses it when Reboot is required to complete the cleaning.

I await your logs.....

when i start the scan pc just freezes and i cant do anything.I dont understand what u mean! i can start the malwarebytes program.It just freezes pc when i am in middle of scan.The CPU usage stays at 100%

Apologies. I thought that you weren't able to even start the program. Let's try a different angle. Please download ComboFix.exe. This will give me a better view to the files running and also hidden on your computer and also those in the registry. Please download from one of these webpages .

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right-click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools.
Double-click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
If it will not run rename Combofix to xxx.exe and run that.
As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.Recovery Console can be installed from your disc if you have Vista if you wish.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.



Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
