I saw in one cite that this thing is a virus but when i end the process of it there is no effect sometimes there is its strange in that cite they say this is a confusing virus what should i do? sometimes i run a4 perfectly (for my system) but sometimes it have lag and from today it shows black screen do i need to reinstall the win or? Also the win defender doesn't say that i have a virus.

+1 for Glary Utilities.

Denis Stoikovski, can you open Ccleaner and click on Tools. Under Tools, click on Startup and what are the items listed in the Windows tab?
What games did you installed, some of the games open when Windows start-up (this option you can delete/disable)
Try other adware/anti-virus software to scan (spybot, adwcleaner, superantispyware, HitmanPro, AVAST), most of these apps you can find at bleepingcomputer.com

If all of these items listed in your Startup tab, then these programs will start and run in the background of your Windows and can make the svchost and dwt taking up CPU/Memory usage. You can always delete it and see if it will reduce the lagg and usage on your dwt processes.
