590780 2007-09-13 08:56:00 Hello members
I have a weird thing happening. In intervals of approx 30 sec the CPU climbs to 100% usage with iexplore and then drops down again. It does that for the last one or two days, just don't really know when it started.
I have tried all sorts and today, I even did a repair install. No change!? It is annoying as when I do design work the (overworked)CPU is slowing down/holding the cursor.
I have checked for viruses(run hjt, spybot, avast) no problems found?
Has anyone of you an idea what that could be. I know, a lot of you guys don't like IE. For some reason I just like the interface and like to get it going ok again
Thanks

590781 2007-09-13 09:02:00 Could be a hijacker, or an addon thats causing it, check what addons are running. If you use IE 7.

Post a HJT log here.

590783 2007-09-13 09:46:00 Whats your videocard?? ATI or Nvidia?

This entry

O23 - Service: Windows Display Driver Manager - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Nvcpl.exe may belong to the Nvidia drivers, or it maybe a worm.

And what version of Windows is this?

My card is an ATI radeon 9600 series
and if this is the case, then it (Nvcpl.exe) must be some dodgy stuff, or not?
I did look early on on Google and it said that it is either a nvidia file or a "pest" and since I have an ATI it does need to be removed?

590786 2007-09-13 10:29:00 Hello
I restarted and in safe mode I renamed it and placed on my desktop(just in case).
All is back to normal now. Interstingly I scaned it with avast and nothing came up?
Very good suggestions, Speedy and ferrite, it looks to be solved.

If that entry is still in a HJT log tick it then tick fix checked.

Good to hear its back to normal !

I would say its something nasty, since you're not using a Nvidia card.
