My computer is doing weird things... - 12/28/08 15:42

...which makes it impossible to play games or do other stuff...
look at this 2 pics:

Cpu usage ~50%

Cpu usage ~6%
when i restart my computer everything is okay it only happens sometimes....
EDIT: Btw when i play games it runs 1 sec smooth and then it stops 1 sec and so on -_____-
Does anyone know anything about it?

Thank you

Quite logical question - do you have antivirus installed and does it match the latest update?

I have avira antivir (the annoying free version) and zone alarm.
Avira has always the latest updates and zone alarm shouldnt be a problem since a lot of my friends use it and they haven't got this problem.
I think it should be someething else since this problem shows up every 15 times (or whatever :-D ) i start my computer

Try to switch the antivir software off and disconnect from Internet.

Besides that search for Spy tools. Today the real threats are no virus-infections, spy tools are worse. I had the same problem in the past and only SpyBot S&D could help me:

It is free but I donated some money after this because they saved me.

But i think it cantbe spyware because i already had this problem before i reinstalled windows

Or try CureIt! (free util to scan pc from viruses & delete them).

It will find all variety of dangerous\potentialy dangerous content (even adware).

You should also probably do a rootkit scan. Try Rootkit Hook Analyzer an RootkitRevealer

My firefox is also eating up to 100mb. (now 116476).
ICQ is in the past now. I use Pidgin.

idle. so if there's a high number, the processor is doing few things to nothing.
