We have had a lot of problems with Spyware programs doing this on our
public servers.  Get adaware and spybot and run it on the machine.

Subject: [THIN] Process Consuming 100% util



Hello All,

 

One of my friends has a MetaFrame server where "random" processes
consume 100% of the CPU utilization. When this happens, the system (of
course) becomes very unresponsive. You can right-click and kill it via
task manager, and everything is fine.

 

The weird thing is (and what's throwing me for a loop) is that one day
it's ntvdm.exe, the next day it's outlook.exe, etc.. different apps,
different users, different sessions, same server, same problem, same
resolution.

 

MetaFrame XP, W2k, Office 2k.

 

I don't want to use any kind of clamping software because I'd like find
the real cause.

 

Any ideas? This guy has three servers, and it only happens on one of
them. I'm keen to call it a "hardware" problem. :-)

 

Brian
