    Default Malware cause CPU usage to go to 100% in cycles

    Hi,

    To however is going to help me here, just a word of thanks from me here before i start. You guys are wonderful.

    OK.. get to the problem.

    I have been having this problem of for about 2 weeks or so. The CPU usage is weird, with periodic peaks @ 100% usage by a process called "iexplore.exe". The peaks come like every 30 seconds or so. Under the Windows Task Manager the User of this process is "System". When I launched my Internet Explorer 7, another process with the same name "iexplore.exe" appears, but by User account which I have logged in to Windows.

    When I terminated the process "iexplorer.exe" started by System, the problem is gone. However, when I reboot, the problem will get back again.

    Scanned my comp with updated AVG Free edition in safe mode, but did not detect any virus.

    Scanned with online scanner Panda. The Report is as follows:

    Start Hijackthis and place a check next to these items If there.
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: winnqw32 - winnqw32.dll (file missing)
    ====================================
