    really not sure whats going on then , all the spyware scans come back clean , so there seems to be no background
    infection

    try stopping this one

    KService.exe

    can be a resource hog

    http://mou.me.uk/2007/08/25/woops-kontiki-did-it-again-kserviceexe-and-the-bbc-iplayer/

    just because the BBC use software provided by an unscrupulous company. There are ways around having the constant uploading or the 100% CPU usage,

    Should I stop it via the task manager ? Also how do I remove it from the start up ?

    I have stopped Kservice. CPU usage is still 100%. Physical memory is averaging 57%

    Looking at the task Manager, iexplorer uses between 20 - 25 % just being open, does that sound right ?

    Host the image at photobucket, which is free, it will then provide you with a link which you place here.

    Whats the specs of your computer? Operating system? Ram? CPU speed? Size of hard drive and amount of space left?

    IE could easily take up that amount. Perhaps you could try firefox 3?

    I use Fixefox and Iexplorer.

    It a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop.
    Vista Business, 2gb RAM, 2.2 Core2Duo, 160gb hard drive (55gb spare).

    The processor is currently sitting at about 2-3% and goes upto about 50-60% when active.
    The processor is in constant use (85-100%) when the laptop is rebooted. But when left or put into hibernation (then restarted) its fine.
    As I said above, the Trojan is still showing in my system.

    Any idea's ?
