Geeks,

My notebook using XP started to populate "MY COMPUTER" with directories very, very slowly starting about a month ago. Any activity with "MY COMPUTER" pegs the processor at 100% for about 30 seconds. To clarify, my reference to "MY COMPUTER" means the file utility called MY COMPUTER in Windows XP and not my personal computer.

if this is being populated without you personally doing so, you should visit the malware section first.
