vista 100% cpu

svchost.exe using around 50%

and ccSvcHst.exe using around 50% ??

svchost.exe is typically a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System, and should not be disabled, as it is required for essential applications to work properly. However in some cases it could be malware, Determining whether svchost.exe is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from.

ccSvcHst.exe belongs to Symantec Event Manager and is required to run on startup in order to benefit from its functionality or so that the program will work. Symantec is often known to be a resource hog.

Even so both of these should not be using 100% of the CPU all the time so I would like to suggest that you start a new thread in the Malware Removal - HiJackThis™ Logs Go Here area.

Before you post a log click on this link --> You Must Read This Before Posting A Hijackthis Log
this will give you a few preparations to make, as well as instruction for posting your Hijackthis log.

Then if you get the all clear, and are still having the same problem just come back here and we will see what else we can come up with.

Fixed the ccSvcHst.exe by upgrade norton from 2007 to 2008
