i think i have got virus

[Britton30]

Here's a head start. What is a anti virus program

 

[Mysterious]

ok guys relax i'll use malwarebytes.i also think i should keep it,Thanks all

 

[Mysterious]

when i open task manager my cpu usage goes to 90% or higher..but after some seconds it goes down to normal 5-6%.why is it that ? & my laptop fan also run fast.u think virus is still in my pc ?
i ran full scan with kaspersky & removed 1 infected file.but same problem when i open task manager it goes to 90% or higher,then in some seconds to normal 5-6% & my fan not run fast all time.it also goes normal in some time & again run fast random times.i'm going to full scan with malwarebyte.but u all think it's normal,it happens with u also ?

 

[Britton30]

My CPU is 0% when I open Task Manager. You may have a cooling/overheating problem more than a virus. Clean your vents, use on a hard surface.
Run Malware Bytes and Super Anti Spyware.

Igfxupdate.exe forces cpu to load @ 100% - Microsoft Community

Hi Layback bear i can't find the igfxupdate..so both links are useless for me.anyway thanks for trying to help me

Edit-i ran full scan with malwarebytes & also ran flash scan,but it found nothing.
note-it only goes to 90% or higher when i clicked on performance tab & it open in straight performance tab where cpu & ram usage showing.do me a favor u all click on performance tab in task manager & close it.again open task manager,it'll open straight in performance tab where cpu & ram usage showing.so tell me what u saw ?

Task manager is resource intensive and will push your numbers higher just by launching it. 90% seems a bit high though - mine pops to 24 % and drops to zero.

Please post the following system information: Speccy snapshot

A few things caught my attention
Services
--> Running: PnkBstrA
--> Running: PnkBstrB
--> Stopped: Google Update Service (gupdate)--> Stopped: Google Update Service (gupdatem)

Scheduler
--> 29-12-2013 12:39;: GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA
--> 29-12-2013 20:39;: GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore
--> ATKOSD2

Process List
--> C:\Program Files\Google\Update\1.3.22.3\GoogleCrashHandler.exe
--> C:\Windows\system32\PnkBstrA.exe
--> C:\Windows\system32\PnkBstrB.exe


The PnkBstrX entries might be game related or they might be malware.
I would remove PunkBuster using
Control Panel -> Programs and Features. If there isn't an entry, then rename both A & B versions in C:\Windows\systems32
PnkBstrtA.exe -> PnkBstrtA_exe.rename
PnkBstrtB.exe -> PnkBstrtB_exe.rename

The Google entries also might be legitimate since you use Chrome, but often Google software on Windows causes some issues. Don't worry about anything Google at this point.

ATKOSD2 is a Asus process, you can leave it or disable it - your choice

That's about all I can glean from the Speccy publish - perhaps another member will see something I might have missed.

hello sir thanks for reply.yes pnkbstr is for call of duty 4 modern warfare game.should i uninstall it or rename it ?
I think it's for multiplayer,but i'm not playing multiplayer.as u can see in my speccy report.i'm using my Nokia mobile as modem & my net speed is very very slow.

 

[Slartybart]

I would try to uninstall PunkBuster only, not the game. If PnkBstr is tied to the game install, then rename the two files in C:\Windows\system32.

You are correct - it is for multiuser games (supposedly keeps others from using cheats).

i renamed those two files & saw some imporvement.because now my cpu usage goes down to 0-1%
before it was idle 11-15-16%
will reply back if something happen.Thanks

Edit-i don't know what's wrong with my laptop.when i open task manger cpu usage goes higher 74-80-90%..then stay on 40-50%
i leave it opened for 1 minute..then it goes normal to 0-1-2-3%

Good, keep an eye on things and post if you experience problems. After a week or so of stable operation, please mark this thread as closed.

I think your system has been checked for viruses and is clean, but....

A full regiment is provided in this guide: How to easily clean an infected computer (Malware Removal Guide)
There are nine scanners and each one takes a while (an hour + on my machine). Some you have already run, but if you want to be as ceratian as can be (without wiping your drive and reinstalling) then this is the best route. It's up to you. If you do decide to follow the guide - you have to follow each step, in order, and to completion.

If the spike is related to system load (which I believe is teh issue) then there are two tutorials you can follow:

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html
  See what task Mgr does after Step one
• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11728-optimize-windows-7-a.html
  Some steps might not apply (SSD, more ram...) - report what you did run and what results

Follow one tutorial at a time, trying to do all things at one time makes it more difficult to isolate a problem. If at any point the symptom goes away, STOP and post

I'm going to guess that a game or associated software is launching at startup. Could post an image of your msconfig screens (examples are given in the tutorial)

Thanks
