Ok I was dealing with this on my desktop, and a few months ago I got this laptop that I am currently on.. and this damn thing followed my onto my laptop even though I'm careful as hell when i download and stuff.

Basically the problem is that my CPU Usage spikes by 10-30% every few seconds and I've surfed the net but found nothing on how to fix it.. Any one know anything on this?

Downloaded Malware bytes and scanned through the log myself, found some suspicious stuff that was spyware that I didn't recognize, deleted it after going through hell cause it kept re-running, and now that I've rebooted it seems as if it did the trick but I'm not sure. I'll post back if I don't notice any changes after a bit.

Please do not remove or edit any malware or registry keys, you could do serous harm to your rig.

PM me the logs requested and I'm sure I can resolve your issue.

I told you not to remove it, that should be enough.

If you don't want to heed my advice, don't. When you end up with multiple BSOD's, a harmed BIOS, or a edited MBR don't come asking for help on how to fix it.

Some malware doesn't stop at a base infection, you don't know what you're infected with.

I wouldn't be asking questions if I wasn't asking for your help -.-.. And obviously just telling to remove it wasn't enough cuz I removed it, and guess what? It worked. I'm not a novice on computers, I just needed help finding what it was.
