My computer, running Windows 2000 Professional, is
running really slowly. The CPU usage is nearly 100% and
mainly comes from the system process. I've tried checking
for a possible sasser or blaster infection but nothing
turned up. I restarted my computer this morning and now,
I can only run windows in the safe mode. I looked in the
system32 folder for new files (I usually find new viruses
in the system32 folder) but found nothing. Would really
appreciate any suggestions on how I can start dealing
with this problem. Thanks.
