Hi

My HP Lappy is running at 100% CPU usage although there is no slow down at all on the machine itself.

I have run all manner of adware programs but they fail to find a thing. The process using 100% is 'system'

any ideas on where to begin would be appreciated.

As per my original post, this is not a hijack issue.

Thanks

Any help out there?

Charlotte.

The most common cause of this behavior is a virus. Posting a log for the Pros in that section would at least eliminate this possibility.

Otherwise: Have you tried a System Restore? You can also try to troubleshoot with msconfig

Selectively remove your start up items.

Hi

tried msconfig, still no luck. Still 100% CPU so I guess I will have to pop out and buy a new laptop.

if it is not slow, then there should be no need, i often have 100% cpu usage when hardly doing anything. mine is an intel celeron 2.2Ghz... try doing disk cleanup and other utilities like that.
It would also be a very good idea to do what brain_damage and Jephree have said, because although it may not seem to by a virus or spyware, it could be... some viruses are not noticable without an AV (i.e you dont actualy notice anything strange happen)

Highjack logs now posted in correct forum but all looks ok to me?

also, run an antivirus and spyware remover (if you havnt got any, you can download them by clicking the links in my signature)
