有人帮我，cpumun.exe激怒了我

Question

My CPU is running at 100% even though it should be idle. The task manager shows that a single process called 'cpumin.exe' is causing this. Could anyone please explain what I can do to stop this? As whenever I kill the process, it just starts again.

I have noticed kind of relationship between this process and network, because when I unplug the network cable the computer works well. And there is something else when I give this process the order "Suspend process" and when you open the "Analyze Wait Chain" I found that this process have this message "One or more threads of cpumin.exe are waiting to finish network I/O".

Thanks...

Answer 1

Someone else had a similar problem here ...

What exactly is the 'cpumin.exe' process which runs in the background and takes up 100% of the CPU? It happens whenever I run a Java program

Probably best to do a full virus scan just in case. According to http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=dd6da7e7b46f199edc8e4a81b2ae5e1e , it could be some sort of mass mailer.

Answer 2

try the following:

Click Start > Run > (type "cmd.exe" without quotation) > Enter

a Command line (black screen will appear) type the following:

taskkill /fi "imagename eq cpumun.exe" /f /t 

The above command will surely kill the task and all of its child processes and tree.
