ive found what is the problem, and when i end the process, the cpu goes back to normal, and everything works fine. the only problem is that whenever someone logs off, on, or turns the computer back on, it comes back. it is most of the time on my user name- Ian, but it is sometimes on other peoples'.

 

 

 

what i want to do is have it never com back. i will post a HJT log if you need to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ive got windows xp SP2, dell 5150 pentium 4 3GHz, 512 MB RAM.

open up spydoctor, and go to options, and look for the option where is says to start up at boot, and unclick it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i dont know where the option is since i dont use spy doctor, but there is an options just look around

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and you know you have 74 process running not all of them are need, im sure of that, you might wanna turn some of them off

 

 

 

it might make your comp run a little faster, BUT ONLY DO IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING

That program is your spywaredetector software, is perfectly safe.

 

 

 

By any chance does the 100% usage only happen when you start your pc?

 

 

 

If so the program could be set to automatically scan for spyware on start-up.

 

 

 

If it does it on/off after start-up, then I would recommend unstalling the spywaredetector software, then either use a different spyware software or reinstall spywaredetector.

Why do you need a spyware detector that runs constantly? You should just have one that you choose to run regularly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can safely disable that thing's startup entry either by looking in msconfig, or using a utility called autoruns from here:

Removing Spyware Detector would probably be the best course of action. There is no need to have it running at all times (if you get infected, it running isn't going to help you at that point) and the fact its using 100% shows it has issues. Remove it, install Adaware and Spybot S&D and be done with it.

the thing is that i had AVG, and that slowed my computer down too much, do my dad got Spyware Detector. you also have to pay for it, so i can't get rid of it completely.

 

 

 

ive already got Avast, which i told my dad was enough, but oh well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i could not find a way to get it to stop running all the time, but it will only scan when it has to put something in quarantine. unfortunately, the subcription lasts until Sept. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ill post later and see if it was fixed, and thanks for your help.

If you read my post I told you two ways to stop it running all the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, just because you paid for it doesn't mean there isn't a better alternative that is free. Get rid of it.
