Have you checked your system for spyware with more than one antispyware program and removed all of the garbage that they find?  You say your CPU is running at 100%, if you click on the Processes tab in Task Manager can you determine which process is using all of the CPU time?   Steve

What did you scan with? Nearly everything I can find on this problem suggests spyware. Download, install, update, and run the free versions of Ad-Aware and Spybot and let these programs remove all of the garbage that they find.

If these programs don't solve the problem, go Here and follow the directions to download and run the analysis tool called HijackThis. Generate a log file, then open it and copy and paste the text of the log file in a message in the HijackThis forum where a HijackThis expert can offer advice on how to fix the problem.
