WIN very slow, CPU close to 100% all of the time.

I think the issue was a virus. I did a lot of house cleaning. System Registry cleaning, and ran Malware. Right now it seems to work good again. I think these issues only arise after the computer sleeps and then you wake it up.

Streaming issues can be your DSL connection speed, needed Flashplayer or it's reinstall, resetting IE9 to defaults, etc.

Work through these troubleshooting steps.

In addition you may need to Clean Up Factory Bloatware - Windows 7 Forums

Might pay to check your cooling as well.

Doesn't take much of a build-up of muck to overheat a laptop.

Had similar issues with my AS5735 a while back, a good clean
of the fan and vents fixed it.

Yeah I would definitely check cooling (a pain on a laptop), as this was happening to my laptop. The fan was fried but before that it was always running. Got it cleaned and now all is right again. CPU usage is back to normal.
The other thing that might happen is a scan that was missed while sleeping might run upon waking. If there is more than one...well secunia PSI and an anti virus scan can pretty much swamp any system. When you are hitting 100% what is using most of that?

1. Press "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete" at the same time to display the Windows Task Manager.

2. Go to the Process tab to see a list of currently running processes on your computer.

3. Look in the CPU column and locate programs that are using many CPU cycles. High CPU cycles can cause the CPU usage of a program to increase.

4. Right-click on the program and highlight "Set Priority" from the context menu. Select the "low" or "below normal" option to change the priority of the program.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to change the priority of other programs with high CPU usage.

OK OK I found the issue. Malware has helped me identify the issue.

It's a Trojan.Clicker.CT. It is located in C:|Windows\SysWOW64\adbcnsl.exe.


How do I get rid of it?

Thanks again guys

A recently updated version of malwarebytes should deal with that. I know you ran it recently but make sure it's up to date and run a full scan.

Malwarebytes will have a button to Clean Up Infections on what it finds.

After that I would run SFC -SCANNOW Command to check if System files have been damaged.

It found it and quarantined it and then deleted it.
