Something forcing random processes to take up exceptional CPU

[Afran]

The title basically says it all.

I assume I have some kind of spyware/virus, though I've not found anything with ZA Spyware scan, AVG Virus scan, SW Doctor, AdAware or XoftSpy.

I've also got a hijackthis log, which I'm not very experienced at using. Clicky spoiler tag for the log.

The usual processes to use 80-99% CPU are IEXPLORER.EXE & svchost.exe, both of which are vital system processes.

Any help appreciated,

Afran.

Hmmm, although i've got limited Hijack this experience, I can't see anything obviously wrong. Try CCleaner to get rid of any errors in your registry

 

[Afran]

No joy after running CCleaner nor TweakNow RegCleaner.

Even processes like Task Manager are occasionally running at 80% or so CPU by the way, vsmon.exe is also a common one. It seems whichever process I end that's taking up high amounts of CPU, another process will just do the same.

Oh, I'm also getting a certain pop-up quite often, screenshot here:

ZoneAlarm also often asks for permission to run syamuwyw.exe, of which no information is available via google, so I deny it.

"SysProtect is detected as a potentially unwanted program.SysProtect is adware application added by the Netspy Trojan. SysProtect serves unwanted commercial advertisements and various annoying popup ads while browsing the internet.
This is a very high risk threat and should be removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer and your privacy."

Get scanning and start removing...

hitman pro, a scanning engine that uses multiple programs to achieve its goal (which is a nice functional clean computer).
Install it, and in settings at the anti-spyware sections select all programs.
in the Settings section select "accept licence agreements"
find that syamuwyw.exe on your computer and delete it if you can.
If you can, disable your firewall on your system for the duration of the scan... if you can't, stay with your pc and keep an eye on zone-alarm and click accept when the various programs HM-pro uses ask for internet access.

Thanks, tried running this but after 3 attempts, my computer crashes at around 50% of the scans duration.

Looks like I'll have to find some way to remove this SysProtect manually.

Also, thanks for the information about SysProtect to the above poster.

Anyhow, seems like Ingafgrinn is on a mission to promote Hitman pro

I suggest you check out a few free online scanners I posted in this thread: https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=200551

His problems got solved running those after I pointed out that you need to turn off system restore before running a scan, otherwise the nasty stuff will come back. Just remember to turn it back on after you've cleaned your PC.

Good luck

Roflol, nah, not really a mission, but I'm lazy by nature and this program does the hard work for ye, scanning with several programs including those often mentioned as stand-alone scanners like Ad-Aware, spybot, spysweeper and spyware doctor on the click of 1 button so I'm like... why install those by hand and run each manually. Too much work

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

Strongly suggest you run something pretty nifty in the anti-spy/adware department sharpish - thats a Netspy downloaded thingy - most up to date virus / adware removers should pick it up and toast it reasnobly quickly...

 

[Afran]

Most scanners I perform freeze up somewhat through the duration of the scan, the ones linked in the thread (free online scans) just closed after a few minutes. Unfortunatley none of the virus scanning software I have (SW Doctor, ZA, Lavasoft AdAware, Xoft Spy, Spyware S&D, AVG, possibly others) find nothing.

Just thought I'd say it's now fixed. I posted on some special analyst forums and they managed to fix it by checking loads of random logs

PM me if you have this problem and I'll link it to you!
