Title: Computer question Post by: RED-DOG on February 17, 2008, 12:58:11 PM Occasionally when I'm browsing the web, I open something that makes my cpu work at 100%. It seems to happen most when I'm researching someone, or looking at biographies, but that could be coincidence because I do that a lot.
To get back to normal, I usually have to close my computer down by pressing the power button, and then re-starting it. I assume that I am clicking on some kind of malicious programme, but what do they get out of it?

Title: Re: Computer question Post by: Bongo on February 17, 2008, 01:46:50 PM Flash ads have a habit of doing that for me...
Ctrl - Alt - Delete should bring up the task manager, so you can end it as said previously. If you take a note of what it is that's using all the CPU we'll be able to diagnose a bit better |
