edited January 2007 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I noticed that my cpu usage was at 100% when i came back from idling. When i looked in the processes tab i found that it was something called "helpsvc.exe" that was draining my resources. Since my virus scanner didn't pick anything up i thought i would get some help here. If anyone can help me with my log i would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Hi xxkkangxx! Helpsvc.exe is Microsoft's Help and Support center. You might want to read this article before we continue.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839017

    An upgrade to SP2 might help if possible.

    It ends up that it wasn't helpsvc.exe since I don't see it anymore. Sometimes it says firefox is taking up the resources or some other program but once I terminate those programs it still says im using 80-100% of my resources though I can't see anything using the said resources. :/

    I will be upgrading to SP2 soon.

    Sorry about the delay. Give me a chance to look through your log and I'll get back with you this evening. At first glance it appears OK.
    :)

    Not seeing much there. Please follow the instructions below:
    • Download this file - combofix.exe
    • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply. If the log deos not open automatically it can be found in C:\combofix.txt

      Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
