Running WinXP Pro SP3.
========
I did some checking yesterday to see why my PC was "slow" and found that
this process was using !50% of the CPU time. Did a reboot, same thing.
Googles it and saw I might have malware so I ran Symantec AV, Windows
Defender in full scan, Sysinternal's Rootkit Revealer, and Windows Malicious
Software Removal. They found nothing.
I ran Sysinternal's Process Explorer and found the following:
winlogon.exe >> Properties >> Threads
TID 3108 consumes ~52% of CPU time and CSwitch Delta is ~160, and Start
Address is winlogon.exe+0x39156, and Context Switches is ~68,000.
The total thread count for this process is 22.
I've gone through msconfig to pare down what auto-starts with the same
results.
What else should I check?
