beatlebryce Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 For the past 2 or 3 weeks, every time i start a program, it uses 100% of the cpu for about 3-5 seconds. this didn't used to happen. I know my computer quite well, and I can't think of anything that would do this or anything I changed to cause this. it doesn't matter what it is, it will freeze for a little (firefox is the exception) WMP- 100% cpu, AIM- 100%, ms word- 100%... the list goes on. I need to correct this annoying problem. help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted May 5, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2009 What version of Internet Explorer are you using? I only ask because if you installed IE8 it may cause other programs to load slower after installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlebryce Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hmm, that might actually be something. I installed 8 when it came out. Haha well it seems we might have found it. I've done scan with AVG, SUPERAntispyware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Spybot SD, nothing came up. I'm very sure it's something software/hardware based, and yes, my problems arose around the time of my IE8 installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach112 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Doubt its malware related myself I'd say Andavari could be right. Let me check something else that may cause it Download Security Check here or here and save it to your Desktop. Unzip SecurityCheck.zip and a folder named Security Check should appear. Open the Security Check folder and double-click Security Check.bat Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box. A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Rorschach112 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 No problems there. Could be due to IE8 By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe. ~Scratch~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlebryce Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yea, I knew it had to have been software related. Thanks for the tool though, such a quick way to sort out my defenses haha. I updated my Java too! EDIT-- OK, I uninstalled IE8 back to IE6. Back to the fast speeds. I can start music right away, send IMs right away, etc etc. Thanks for the help. One more reason to love Firefox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
