have realised that my PC has been running very slow lately. When i checked the processes with Process explorer, 100% CPU was being used. After checking, the process "Microsoft PC state Manager" was using 96% of my CPU. I am not sure if this is a problem with Windows Itself, or a Virus posing as a valid windows Process.

I have tried ad-aware, Spybot, and AVG virus scan - all coming up clear (Apart from a few tracking cookies found in ad-aware). I don't know what else to do.

Here is my Hijack this! report:

I hope you guys can help!! It's barely possible for me to use my computer.

Note: I also have all Windows Updates installed, but for some reason, it says that i have Internet Explorer version 5.51 SP1 (At the top of the HijackThis report), even though i have V6. - checked by opening IE, and going to About Internet explorer.

I have just tried closing the program, and my PC still works. I have identified the task in my registry, should i delete that registry key?
