First off, i'm new around here so a big 'hello' to you all.
Secondly, apologies if after reading this the experts amongst you feel this should be in another part of the forum - I thought I'd start with poss malware / virus infection etc. and go from there.
My problem - since last Friday my CPU seems to constantly hit 100% no matter what process(es) I'm using.
I noticed the problem started after upgrading to the latest iTunes update. First off my sound kept skipping and my mouse pointer became sluggish and I thought it was merely an iTunes problem. So, I uninstalled and rolled back to a previous version. However, the same problem was apparent. Then I began to notice all other apps were becoming sluggish and finally my system freezes for several seconds at a time as the CPU hits max. This is why I think I may have malware / virus probs - iTunes update was probably a coincidence.
So, I've followed the Sticky Thread info on malware, i.e. ran spyware, virus sofware etc. and nothing seems to have changed. I've attached logs so if anyone would be so kind as to cast their eye over them I'd be very, very grateful!
Cheers,
G
