Can't find the process that is hogging my CPU

Unknown
edited September 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi thanks for reading.

I have a Dell Laptop that seems to have been hijacked by something that likes to keep the CPU pinned at 100% all the time. I think I ruled out any hardware problems, because the system boots fine and runs fine in Safe Mode.

I've also ran scans with Norton Antivirus, Microsoft Antispyware, Spybot S&D, and Adaware and they all come up clean.

I could really use some help from someone that is good at analyizing these logfiles to help me squash this bugger. Thanks so much. -JB
