Hello Geeks2Go,

Glad I found this wonderful site, cuz I am about to wit's end. Firstly, I am not sure if I should post this problem in here or the Security forum.

Over the last couple of days, this problem started out semi-problematic not that big of a deal but has gotten progressivley worse. It seems that anytime I run a Flash related site or video, Firefox, my CPU goes to 100% and RAM in the 80-85% range. I have to close my browser/or flash related program/site....it then takes my laptop about 15-20 min. to return to normal. I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled, problem still exists.

I also just noticed that I have a total of (14) svchost.exe showing in Task Mgr...only 1-2 active but should there be that many?

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Hi Broni and thank you. I will follow your instructions. Thought I may have posted to the wrong forum.

It's not necessary an infection, but it's better to check that possibility first.
