You have a few issues to work, but imagine the poster that claimed the CPU was always at high CPU usage because the process titled "Sytem Idle Process" was always nearly 99 to 100% of the CPU cycles. They revealed their new to this OS status very quickly.
As to the .EXE you noted, I would do two things.
1. Get all the OS updates installed. This is non-negotiable since a new install can quickly be infected with the Blaster or any of the varients that your Antivirus will not stop. You can skip all the application updates like Windows Media Player and always second guess Microsoft if a driver is offered!
2. Perform ALL five scans with the tools noted at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0 and hunt up the new link to CWSHREDDER. If you decode to do less than the five scans, reveal this in your next post why you didn't so that discussion can start.
Best of luck in your bug hunt.

I am using an AMD Athlon 2000+ Processor and 256MB Ram along with an Onboard ASUS Motherboard.The operating system is Windows XP Professional. The problem is that my computer's system consumes up 80-95 percent of the computer's performance. Eventhough there is no program running, this problem still persists. It is as if there is a secret program running in the background which consumes all of the system's performance. But how is this possible? I found out that there could be spywares, adwares or a possible trojan virus in my computer. I cleaned up my computer from all spy and adwares. I also scaned my computer a dozen times with various up to date antivirus programs. The only thing I came up was a possible trojan virus called pornovideo.exe within my system32 folder. I deleted the file. I tried everything but there is no imrovement on this issue. The CPU usage still boosts up to 95 percent without much decrease. One additional point is that I can use all my programs without them being functioning slowly. This seems absurd. With such high CPU percentage this shouldn't have been possible. What could be the cause of this high CPU usage? What are the possible solutions without losing much? Is there anyone out there who can help me out on this urgently? I need somenones help. Thanking you in advance.
