When i press crtl alt del, nothing happens anymore, and my CPU runs above 80% almost all the time now, might be conecedence but idont know :(, i don't know what would be the probelm so i posted here. Can anyone help? What might be the problem.

I assume maybe a viris? Becuase maybe thats stoping me, and it making my CPU run higher? i dont know... help...
 
my sysmetrix might be running wack too though, thats what im going by. i have to go but i'll check out that lijk when i get abcl :) thanks.
 
lol , i had i virus that did this to me, it changed all the admin passwords, and when i try to open task manager it says its disable by the admin, and i loged off andi couldnt even get back on to the computer, i ended up have to reformat the drives, o yea , it killed norton too, when i tried to open norton it said some file was missing or sumthin, so after i reformated i just got avg instead of norton:)
 
I can log in and everything, everything is working perfect, the speed dosn;t even seem slow even though tis voer 80% all the time somtimes 100%, i just noticed it a few days agao, when something froze, and i tryed to close it with ctrl alt dellte
 
try to rite click the taskbar thing and click task manager from there, cause somtimes a key might be messed up on ur keyboard or sumthin...one of my number 2 keys is messed up on my other keyboard...
 
Run this command (tasklist >c:\list.txt)in the MS-DOS
the content of the file list.txt located in driver C will help you finding the virus,you can post the content here ! :D
 
It says

"the NTVDM CPU has encounted an illegal instruction.
CS:00cf IP[a bucnh of numerbs and letters i dont feel like tpying goes here] choose close to terminate the application."
 
I dealt with a computer recently that was having a similar problem with the CPU running very constantly. When I found out what was taking up most of the resources, it was actually the main boot-up program for Windows that starts all the other applications in the registry. What I would suggest is getting a tool called EZcleaner 2.0, I believe. It will clean out any errant registry entries that basically get the computer stuck. What was causing the computer to constantly be running at a high speed was the fact that there were registry values for programs that no longer were on the computer. The computer would keep on trying to start these non-existant programs, tying up all the system memory, including the ctrl+alt+delete command. After I ran that program the computer ran normally. (P.S. The ctrl+alt+delete command should pop up, it just will literally take 5+ minutes for it to pop up.)
 
One other question, does the whole computer seem to be a little slow to respond to commands? If that's the case, that's another indicator to a clogged registry.
 
kind-a but not much. I just noitced today, some of the program that run on start upo, when i try to close then(to make it run a little better) they start up agian, so maybe that is the case, thanks!, i'll shearch for the program and try it out.

wait, it is free online? or do you have to buy it?
 
It's a free download, let me know if you find it, I think I still have the executable and might be able to e-mail it to you...
 
Can't find it i did find a EasyCleaner 2.0, but the website seemed sketchy.

EDIT:I also tryee running the "REGEDIT" and that won't work anymore either.

?You said the registery might be messed up, so i thought maybe i would look as see what would happen.

No, its fine, both me and my brother-in-law who runs a computer network at a large corporation have used it. I know it seems kind of primitive, for lack of a better word, but you'll be pleased with how it works I promise :)
 
No, that's not a trojan, I've used it myself as well as my brother-in-law who deals with computers and networks every day as a job at an extremely important company where he is the head of the computer technicians. The file is fine and will remove the extraneous files.

P.S. I've used trend-micro's on-line virus-scanning since installing this program, and it didn't make a peep about it. And that program has the best ability to identify trojans anywhere. I would not refer you to a trojan.

It ended up being some random virus that fixed everything as soon as i removed it. Exept now i guess i have over 700 setup.exe files infected with a "W32.Alcra.B" virus. sysem seems perfectly normal now though....

lol, thats definately a trojan.
Try kaspersky.com online virus scanning to remove it.

I think they're talking about the general problem, not the EZ Cleaner (which obviously isn't a trojan).
