Every afternoon, I see the startup of a makecab.exe, csrss.exe and a conhost.exe. It drags my core-2 duo system to its knees. Can you help me identify what program is causing this to run?
Thanks,

Windows runs makecab.exe to reduce the size of the old CBS log file. You can find compressed CBS.cab files under C:\Windows\logs\CBS. Windows scans for updates at start, so it detects too large logs and compressed them. TRY DELETING THE LOGS

Thank you for your help, Samuria!
