Virus / Task Manager taking up 100% CPU?

[hellnoire]

Control-Shift-Esc

Hit those three buttons at once, then go to Processes, then sort by CPU and by RAM usage. Tell us what they are and we can help.

Or post a HijackThis log.

Here it is!!! what now??

[hellnoire]

Kill Sidebar.exe

Then, follow these steps to make it not load on boot.

It's not a virus, but it's the sidebar of Windows Vista. It's VERY prone to doing that, making people's computers very VERY slow, as you've found out.

I've personally disabled Vista Sidebar on my Vista...for the exact same resons hellnoire have just mentioned...SLOW!!!

[pedjaaaa]

I'm running Windows 7 not Windows Vista!how to disable in Windows 7?

[hellnoire]

Then disable your gadgets on Windows 7.

[pedjaaaa]

just that??anything else?? tnx

[hellnoire]

Nope, that should be all... try it and see.

Yeah, I disabled Sidebar on my machines too. The funny thing is that the people around me has Sidebar running with so many gadgets. 1 time I disabled Sidebar on their machine, they like get mad at me. Since then No more advice from me. Sometimes I heard them say "how come my computer is too slow?" I think who care.

[hellnoire]

Well that's the thing. The sidebar/gadgets of Windows built-in are slow. If you want something like that, add Rainmeter if you ask me.
