"'The Windows NT executable which is used to handle a single DOS (and Windows 3.x) environment is called ntvdm.exe."
This is quite odd and a BAD SIGN of an infection. Did you scan with the usual Grif notes at http://forums.cnet.com/7726-6122_102-5509131.html?tag=posts;msg5509131
Also, this would be true for say older machines with single core CPUs. That is, they can get all hung up if we had a single core and installed a few antivirus, malware apps. They get the CPU all too busy.

Hello anyone, everyone,
I've been having a problem for several days now and its pretty annoying.
As usual, I'm running my computer with the usual (several webpages up such as Hotmail, messenger etc) Nothing robust. Anyways, low and behold, my computer slows down in the blink of an eye and I could barely get it to do anything.
I then checked with Task Manager, only to discover that my CPU was 100% used up. Is this even possible? I realized there were about 2 instances of this ntvdm.exe file running that was using up almost all of the CPU. I mean it was around 99% or something. Does anyone have any idea of what this means and what sort of a problem it is? Perhaps does anyone know how to fix it?
