It looks like something downloaded on my PC as when I boot it up, Windows is running 100% of the time. I found that program ZSiiR.EXE was the culprit. I stopped the task and all of its "tree" and then Windows is ok until the next time I boot it up. Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to stop it? Thanks for your assistance.

You are infected with a variant of the MS Blaster worm.
There is a fix available for this on the Windows Update
website. Just type "Blaster Worm" into Microsoft's search
engine and they'll direct you to the patch.L
 
Thanks for the tip. I did download the latest patch for Blaster, but when I boot up, I still get either this task or another running 100%. Once I take it out and its associated "trees", the problems goes away. Do I need to do something else after running the update? Thanks
 
You not only need the patch but you need to remove the
virus.
