    I did both the Safe Boot and the Startup restarts, issue seems to be resolved for the moment, but will reply in about 30 minutes to see if anything has changed.

    Thanks again all!

    Shouldn't I try to find the program that was causing the virus and remove it? Or is that asking for too much?

    Turn off all those updater services too

    All those services you see running are killing the cpu

    Hi,
    Yep,
    Did you remove Mcafee ?
    That would be next in line,

    Yes do remove McAfee totally. Then install MSE for now.

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows
