I've got some kind of worm operating under explorer.exe. I know this for a fact because over the past few days after leaving my computer on for more than 12 hours explorer.exe is sucking up 90+ percent of my CPUs clock cycles and 300+mb of my RAM. Even with 1 gig of RAM and 1.4 gigs of page file, this isn't acceptable.

Point me to a free anti virus? If you can't I'll just reformat tomorrow night when I get to my dads.

What's this thing do?
That would be sooo cool if it wasn't going to hurt us.

If that's normal explorer why hasn't it been doing it for the past year?

Have you reformatted in the past year?

AVG Anti Virus. It's pretty decent and it's free.
Who's that crazy kook that's destroying the world. It's Zorc (That's me) It's Zorc and Pals.
Bakura: Did you forget our anniversary, again? (laughter)
Zorc: Yes, I was busy destroying the world (laughter) Slaughtering millions. (Laughter)
Bakura: That's my Zorc.
The blood of the innocents will flow without end. His name is Zorc, and he's destroying the world.

normal resource usage

FAH is like SETI@home, it uses all your extra CPU cycles to serve some other purpose, that's why it appears so active.

edit: wow, phoenix consumes more than I thought..

Have you rebooted?
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?
