Windows 2003 Server System process
I have a Windows 2003 Server on which the System Process is
going wild and taking up an entire processor core! As you can imagine, this is slowing the server down dramatically and even more importantly is interfering with my folding efforts ![]() I have tried many suggestions from google and have run a full scan with command anti virus (up to date) but the only thing that gets rid of it is a reboot - and that only for a little while. The server is patched and up to date and it is running the following IIS 6.0 Sharepoint Surgemail ISC Bind 9 (DNS Server) Command Antivirus Spam Assassin and that's it! Can anyone point me in the general direction of a cure? TIA. |

What happens if you boot into safe mode? Any problems show up with chkdsk? Also you might try ad-aware and/or spybot spyware scans, and rootkit revealer from sysinternals

Chkdsk shows nada! I'm going to try a few spyware/trojan thingies when I get given the time failing that at the weekend. I will add rootkit revealer to the list. |

There may be something else that's gone south, but spyware/trojans/viruses are often a cause of 100% cpu usage.
Good luck! |

Have you tried installing Windows defender on this server?

HijackThis! is on my list from a devshed suggestion. I think I'm going to be installing and using pretty much all the big name anti-spyware/trojan software in existance. Well not really, but it feels like it ![]() |
