347806 2005-04-23 06:54:00 I had a similar problem with my Windows 2000 machine. When you press Ctrl+Alt+Del and go into task manager, which process is consuming the 99% of system resources (Should be listed under the processes tab) Aurealis_ (7897)
347807 2005-04-23 06:58:00 Last time this happened to me, it ended up being a faulty Spybot file. But I only found that by going to task manager (as described above) Myth (110)
347808 2005-04-23 07:10:00 Found the problem - yeh! At kb.trendmicro.com
it says the following: Windows XP Service Pack 2 machines with critical patches and PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 starts to experience high CPU utilization after updating to Pattern 594

I have now solved the problem, thank you. Others should be aware though.
