Hi, I just installed SBC Yahoo! DSL, and updated all of the MS Windows updates. Ever since then, my CPU usage hits 100% seemingly randomly. The culprit seems to be services.exe which uses 99%.
I am running win 2000, 1.2ghz AMD athlon processor, 512mb ram.
I ran spybot, adaware, and Symantec Antivirus 8.1 (all were fully updated) and found no problems.
Its really strange because the computer will be working fine for 5 minutes or whatever, and then suddenly slows down to drag. For instance I opened up my yahoo mail, read a couple of messages, and as soon as I hit reply, it slowed to a crawl.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
