    I dont know if this could be a virus or if it could be becasue of the phone drivers I recently installed, but I am having MAJOR problems.. My CPU usage keeps shooting up to 100% and if that has happened to you before, I am sure you realize the issue..

    The reason I am here is becasue I looked at my startup items, and there was one named: WAUBOO~1

    Anyway, I googled it and it said it was a 10 on the 1-10 threat rate..

    Here is a HijackThis log from 5 minutes ago.. I tried doing a system restore.. It worked for a few hours but now it isn't working anymore.

    Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

    RikuS, welcome to Ad-

    Let's start with getting a couple of programs for you.

    Go to http://www.download.com and download the following programs.

    1) Ad-Aware Personal SE (Lavasoft)
    2) CCleaner
    3) A-Squared Free 1.6.5

    I would tell you to get ewidow but first let's see if we can get the machine clean.

    Run all of these programs and include you Spybot Search & Destroy and AVG. Next change the name of your HjT file from HijackThis.exe to another name of your choice. Run and post another scan after you are finished.

    Your HjT log is clean. Are you still having any problems with your machine?

    Check your device manager. Right click "My Computer" and select properties. Select the tab that says, "Hardware", and then click the device manager. Does your device manager have any devices not working?

    You might also try to start your computer in Safe Mode. Run your AVG there. Sometimes programs hidden in your registry start and are not recognized by the programs we ran. How much memory do you have in your machine? When you right click "My Computer" and on the first tab it will tell you. Make sure that the memory is accurate.

    One other thing you might try. Run a scan disk and then defrag your HD.

    I'm guessing that you have a 512 mb and a 256 mb sticks on you M'board? I hope the defrag helps.
