Help, computer problem.
 

The CPU on our computer is constantly working at 100% and makes everything go slower. What can be the cause of this? What to do to fix it? Thanks for your ´help :)

the only answer for windows: reboot

or format C:... But other than that?

you checked for spyware already ?

ctl-alt-del
open the task manager and see whats eating the proc

ctrl-alt-delete -> task manager -> Processes

sort by cpu, click it twice, see anything unusual?

Yup, checked for spyware.

Sorted by CPU in the taskmanager (thanks, didn't know you could do this ;) ) and found something called MaxBackServiceIn... Any idea what this is for?

goodluck

sounds fishy, i would kill it anyway. get spybot, update it, and scan your system. reboot and see if that process comes back

Think I've figured out what it's for. We bought a backup HD a week ago and it seems to be connected with that... Spybot couldn't find anything so i think it's not spyware related.

had same problem (with other tasks/spywar/adware) this weekend

tried out spybot and other similar programs with no effect

installed norten antivirus2600 had to reboot 10 times to finish the virusscan but now everything again normaly
