I'm running a win2k box and the other day i noticed that it was running exremely slow. When i checked the processes running the system.exe process was using between 89-99% of the CPU. The only way to correct the problem was to reboot. But now after my machine is on for more than 20min, it happens. Can anyone help me out?

Seems like you have a virus problem. Update your
antivirus signature files and then run a full
system scan in safe mode. After that if possible
delete the virus file. Keep your antivirus files
uptodate.
Configure your antivirus program to scan your emails before it reaches your mail client. Also,
as an extra precaution install a firewall like
ZoneAlarm - it's free.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
