Troubles with recurring spywares and unusual high CPU charges

[Paul Reed Smith]

Hi and thanks for the help you provide.

I'm actualling experiencing unusually high CPU charges while working on my computer. I don't think it's a hardware problem. I have 1GB of RAM I tested with memtest and everything is fine. I did a scan with SpyBot and found some spywares like TagASaurus and Win32.Small.ddx considered by SpyBot as Trojans. Are they real threats or not ?

I ran a scan with HijackThis and submitted the log file to hijackthis.de but it only found 2 minor and quite harmless entries.

Here is a new log:

Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is a download manager I installed. I'm clarifying this because it's sometimes detected as a spyware.

Thanks in advance!

hi Paul Reed Smith,

dont see much to be worried about in the log. you could always run a 2nd malware app for a 2nd opinion, especially if you have had malware before or have certain habits.
you could also do a online scan or to.

2nd malware apps:
Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/)
Avg AntiSpyware (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1)
Spybot Search and destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)
