Computer cpu

[Dull Freedom 40]

eh yeah does ne1 know what's causing this ? everytime i start up my computer its cpu usage runs to 100% and takes me 10 min to open firefox and if i try and open a program it takes about 15-30 min to open.

 

This just happend today its cpu usage has been at 100% all day ive restarted and everything but it still does it.

 

About to shove comp out the window everytime i open a program it says not responding and a few min later it will work but for a very short time

Open Task Manager and see what's using the most CPU, if it's System Idle Process, I don't know what to tell you but if it some of the things under your name you can probably end them. Careful though. Don't end things unless you know what they are.

yeah i have no clue what they are

I don't see an image.

 

Edit: Nevermind I do, one second.

-Try and get a screen of your processes, mainly the ones under your name.

kk i see 1 program thats using cpu its using 99 cpu... it's called RPS.exe .... it's under my name is that normal?

[Aimcrack 40]

Do you know of any programs on your computer that correspond with the letters R P and S, kind of like Quicktime would be, Qttask.exe.

Also if you find out that was a problem, first off if you're going to be restarting, go to:

Start>Run Then type in 'msconfig' no quotes, and go to startup and see if RPS is in there, if so uncheck it and apply. Then after that if you restart for whatever reason, just tell the box that pops up not to anymore, and try and get rid of RPS manually.

[Aimcrack 40]

Hah, I installed Kaspersky, and it greatly affected my beasts.. I mean computers performance. So I got rid of it.

Oh my gosh. I'm sorry but Norton sucks more every year. You should change.

I mean its a great anti virus program

but it EATS your computer..

 

Once i uninstalled it my computer started up 2 minutes faster

 

Trend Micro FTW

Norton sucks. NOD32 ftw.

Actually, i've had this problem before, and it wasn't because of a virus/trojan.

In fact, it was norton that took up 99% of my cpu all the time, and also another time it was scvhost.exe, which is how your computer connects to the internet. I had to uninstall norton to get rid of the first one, and then restart to get rid of scvhost.exe.
