I keep getting an error message that there is a problem
with CPskins.exe and it has to shut down. Sometimes I
cannot access the internet because CPskins has used 100%
of my CPU. What is CPskins.exe and why am I getting
these messages?
 
Is the file in your computer and where.

A search on google reveals only one message, yours.

If you did not install any new software/hardware recently or you did and
they installed some spywares then:

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

or:

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
