Help!

My cpu usage is always at like 90% + now and my pf usage is at 2 gb+ (I don't know what pf usage is.) and I can't save anything because of my ram (it says there isn't enough). My computer used to be fine 2 weeks ago but now it has been crapping out on me.

Does anyone know what to do?!

 

Sounds like a virus. Scan immediately with everything you've got.

If all else fails, back up as much as you can and reformat.

Here's how.

ctrl+alt+del, process tab, go find out what process is causing the problem.

 

System specs please?

Run Avast (boot scan)
and run spybot search and destroy

reformat means you lose everything you have so make sure you will want to do that.

and if you cant download avast, use any other anti-virus scanner you can.
and if you got another computer with a cd burner, write the avast installation on that cd and put it in ur current messed up computer..

 

then go to start bar->run and type in msconfig and stop that progress from starting.

you might want to check spyware as well.

how much ram do you have? what is your cpu type?

 

I've got a Dell Dimension DIM9100 Intel® Pentium® D CPU 2.80GHz and 1 GB of ram.

And the only thing that is causing it is the system idle process.

 

that definately a virus scan with what u got or else u might just lose data if u are up to it save your data and reformat

 

system idle is suppose to be at 99 if your not doing anything. spyware/anti -virus scan sound the best right now.

bettter yet take a screenshot of all your processes.

 

System idle being higher is good

mine is above 90 while running FF, limewire, aim and winamp.

 

Mine is higher but I don't know why my cpu usage is so high and my computer is so slow.

 

imo is defenetly a virus or a trojan...
OR
if you are in a network or something someone is copying something from you
