    I am leaning (on a lamp-post at the corner of the street) towards Limewire causing prob's here though, but just guessing.

    Aw this starts to make sense, I tried to connect my laptop to my xbox 360, I ended process tree and it went down to 1% usage. It keeps restarting though so I will follow the steps suggested.
  • GoTo run command in the start menu / type services.msc / Scroll down to Windows media player network sharing /Double click and under startup type set to disabled.

    Brilliant that is that sorted now thanks :beer:

    Time to clear the other crap :T
  • It almost certainly is : windows media player network sharing service, but there are other problems, disable the ' media player network sharing service ' and let us know what the CPU % is doing.

    When the CPU hog is killed we can do other things.
