I am a student using a computer in a studio for
architectural work in my school. My system has been
experiencing problems when I go to open programs or exit
out of my screensaver. For example... I will be listening
to music and decide to open a simple program such as
internet explorer. The music will then
become so garbled that I can no longer tell that it is
music. At first, I believed the problem to be a virus,
but I used several anti-virus software programs, but the
problem was not resolved. I pulled up the task manager,
the only processes that were running were scan32.exe and
the system idle process. However, my CPU usage was
jumping around between 65% usage and 100% usage, even
though I had nothing else running. What is going on with
this pc????
 
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)

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 :(
