Hello everyone,

I'm new on this forum and I've got a problem I can't solve.

I've recently installed McAfee Virusscan 9.0, McAfee Antispyware and McAfee firewall and my operating system is Windows XP pro SP2. The first strange thing that happens after startup is that McAfee seems to startup normaly, but after a few seconds disables it's Virusscan and the Firewall. I have to turn the virusscan back on manualy. Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

But this is not my main problem. At start up my system slows down. In my Windows Task Manager it shows that my CPU is running at 100% full-time. The program that seems to cause the high CPU usage is CMD.EXE, which uses about 97% of my CPU. I know this program isn't supposed to execute on startup. I've performed a scan with Ad-Aware, McAfee virusscan, McAfee Antispyware and a Windows Update, but none of them found any problems.

A sollution I came up with is ending the process of CMD.EXE in the Windows Task Manager. The CPU usage drops to a normal 2-4%. In the Task Manager a "System Idle Process" is shown, which uses 98% of my CPU, but which isn't affecting my total CPU usage of 2-4% (very strange!!). Nevertheless I would like to solve this problem permanently.

I've created a Hijackthis logfile just after system startup. Here it is:
