Hi

My pc currently runs on 99% CPU.

My resource manager shows that 70-80% CPU is use by cvtres.exe

I'm new to PC but I am pretty sure that something is wrong here.

Please help

Interesting. I'd run virus/malware scans. Is this a new install of windows? Also run a hijackthis scan and post the results (preferably in a spoiler tag).


It may a virus since it is at the Windows folder, it is not a Windows core file, the reason why it was taking so much resources is because it does alot of things at once like record inputs, monitor applications and manipulate other programs, which may be another sign of being dangerous but not sure anyways.
