Hi
I've done a lot of searching of the net and maintenance on my laptop to find out what is going on with winlogon.exe. Attached is the Hijack This log. I've also searched for other copies of winlogon.exe and it doesn't appear anywhere on the computer apart from the correct place. It stays permanently at the top of task manager when I put processes in order of CPU usage, taking a minimum of 50% - but I have seen it go up to 97% when other process are not running. It's slowing down my whole PC.
I run Kaspersky Anti-Virus / Anti-Spyware but I was trying to re-install the Sony Ericsson PC Suite and Kaspersky was stopping me so I paused the protection in order to do this. It didn't look like it had actually done anything so I assumed it hadn't paused protection, but I can only assume that this is where some sort of virus has found it's way in to my usually very well protected PC.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Paul
