iexplore.exe using 98% of CPU time for 4-8 hours. Can
start in 5 minutes or start after 10 hours. iexplore.exe
shuts down frequently giving code 0xc0000005.
svchost using 98% of CPU time, RpcSs identified when using
tasklist /svc command. Usually happens after iexplore.exe
shuts down. Ending task on svchost causes computer to
crash requirinng re-boot.
explorer.exe using 98% of CPU time for 1-2 hours.
Expeienced the same problems with an emachine 500a Pentium
III , SOYO SY-6BE+ Pentium III , SOYO SY-K7VEMPRO AMD
1.3GHz, ECS K7S5A PRO AMD 1.3GHz, P6VEM3 motherboard VIA
C3 CPU 800MHz.
 
Hi,

I am also experiencing a problem as are others (Marie,
Dick Shrewsbury, ogi, Courtney, Pat Nolan, Dan, Bill W,
Keith, Mario, Asvin, David Brewster, Yatty, Allen, Chris,
H.P, Chris Scott)

Dick, Allen, Mario, and I all get temporarily cured by a
restart of the computer. Do you? This seems to be a
common condition. Dick gets anywhere from a minute to an
hour of computer use before its unusably slow. I've had
2 incidents: Nov 18 and Nov 21 with maybe 8 usable hours.

We also have the CPU in the 90% range when it is slow and
nothing is open/running.

Look for posts with subjects of
Slow computer
High CPU usage

I feel like its a new, undocumented virus thingy :(
