Running Windows XP Home and keep hitting a problem.
PC (Athlon XP 3.2Ghz) suddenly slows down to doing not a lot, when pressing the CTRL ALT DEL to bring up the task manager msmsgs.exe is at 100% CPU usage.
I can close this process down and the PC is fine again for a few moments. Shortly after this iexplore.exe suddenly jumps up to 100% CPU usage. If I close this process down there is not much left on my screen apart from the desk top!
I had this problem about a year ago for a few months, and then it just dissappeared - but is back with avengance now!
I have ran Norton System Works 2005 and Tune Up Utilities 2004 and solved any problems lurking on my PC. Running Norton Antivirus as part of Norton Internet Security 2005 and Microsoft Anti Spyware. I am hoping this is good enough precaution!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alan
