100 Percent CPU Usage Hijack this log attached
Hi guys first time poster and I have a CPU usage problem. This randomly happened the other day when I booted up my laptop it was running loud and lagging a lot so I checked the cpu usage and it was 100%. I checked all of the processes and none of them were running high. I ran spyware and antivirus with no success so I decided to do a hijack this log and see what happens. I have no idea what to do but could somebody please read this log and tell me if there are any problems.



Thanks a lot. Also any other tips for 100% CPU usage would be greatly appreciated although I have tried pretty much everything it seems like.
 
if your on windows vista or windows 7 open the task manager and go to the processes tab and at the bottom you should see "show all proceeses from all users" click that
 
system idle process keeps spiking up and down and other processes such as firefox and task manager will also spike but never go above like 30. Also svchost spikes occasionally as well as dwn but none of these get above 30
 
system idle process will be at 100% when cpu is not being used and will be at 0% when cpu is at full load. also what are the pc specs
 
Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce go 7900 GS...

Isn't SVCHost a common problem?

Hi, did you ever fix this problem? You got a virus, I had my cpu running at 100% it was either spyware or virus, I backup my data and wiped my HDD and reinstalled windows 7 and everything went back to normal!. easy fix.
