hpg3 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 With nothing running, I looked at the start manager, and the CPU Usage keeps bouncing between 50 to 80 % usage. Shows taskhost.exe using almost 70 K . shows host process for windows. What is this ? iexplore.exe shows 125 K. this shows internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 File: iexplore.exe. Security Rating: "iexplore.exe" is the main executable of the Internet Explorer browser from Mircosoft. It is considered a part of the Windows operating system. Check the security settings for this program to minimize the risk when you are surfing. Hope that helps !

hpg3 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'm still having a problem with the CPU running at 50% and higher with nothing open. it used to be in the low teens. everything is slow and I ran the Norton and Window defender with no results.

flashh4 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 hpg3. you didn't pay for anything to try & fix this problem did you ?? Sometimes a Virus can cause this problem, i think we should do some scans to see if there is something there ! Start me a topic in the Malware Section so we can look things over !!
