***** NOTE ***** not all these problems happened at once incase you're wondering

Last night I went to shutdown, and turned my cpu off.

I logged in today to find this error when I turn my cpu on.






I have something running in the background that is using InternetExplorer. What it is I don't know but whenever I try to end it's task, it always starts up again.


This normal?



I don't want to end it's task since it's a system process but 5 of them?

Question # 1 and 2 are both spyware related and will require you to post a hijackthis logfile for us to review.

Question #3 , its normal to have multiple instances of svchost.exe running with windows XP.

You can get hijackthis from the top left corner of this page and post your logfile in the hijackthis support forum.
