high CPU usage in one user account in Win XP

Unless you want completely random guesses including some information (i.e. HJT logs) would help you get answers/

Ok first off I'm going to apologise this is going to be a long post.

The first Hijackthis log is from my login, the second is from my girlfriends login:

Hi Kedge
Under your Girlfriends log in name
Please go to this Post
This may take a couple runs, but lets start with this,
You have an outdated version of HJT so please run through all the steps please,

Next
Download AboutBuster
Then Unzip it to your desktop.. Check it for updates but "Don't run it yet"

Post back a fresh log to this thread after you have done the above

Don, looks to me as though there's a nasty trojan in there too ... I think I'd wanna run STINGER as one of the intial steps ... what do you think?

Also, I notice the XP is still at SP1 - I think it'd be a good idea to bring that up to date too.

Just my thoughts here ... you've got this one :wink:

Prolly a good idea Timber,

Nothing like a second set of eyes !!!
Thanks for the input,
Was thinking get the system cleaned up prior to updating to SP2

Yeah ... clean up then update to SP2 ... makes sense ta me. Don't wanna interfere here and get the helpee all confused ... just tossin' in a couple thoughts. I figure you know what you're doin'.
