I have Pentium 4 with Intel 845D motherboard, 512 MB SDRAM with Windows

XP professional clean install running on 40 GB Samsung HDD. Somehow

since 2-3 days it has become extremely slow, in task manager my CPU

usage is 100% all the time, items have disappeared from START UP MENU on

the bottom right of the desktop. Task manager shows CPU usage 100% all

the time, everything is unbearably slow, even when trying to do a

shutdown, it doesn't happen. Shutdown doesn't happen and almost always I

have to switch off my PC directly or reboot it. Please help. Absolutely

any help, even your wildest guess is welcome. Also sometime back I had

that blaster worm in my PC I think, I have installed the DCOM patch from

Microsoft, updated my virus definitions in NORTON 2002 and enabled the

firewall. What could be the problem now ? Please mail at

(e-mail address removed) or reply to this message.

NORTON 2002 might cause the problem. Disable the norton antivirus service
and stop the SAVRT.SYS file in Device Manager > View Hidden Devices.

If this does not help, review the Task manager CPU time & physical memory
usage and track the culprit.
