Title: CPU usage/spikes??
Post by: zargon48 on April 22, 2012, 12:50:25 PM
Hi All,
well, I thought I cured it yesterday,,but nada,,,
Im getting "CPU/usage-spikes" as-it-were [my CPU-Meter spikes at 100%, in 2-5sec- intervals as I go to different sites,
then drops to 20-30%],
when using the net with Firefox,
anyone else getting this?
any suggestions on how to track it down?
is there a solution?, oris it just the web-browsers using more
"java-advertising" that could be causing it?
should I try another Browser?
any Ideas would be appreciated!!
Thnx!!

PS Im Using Windows-7 64bit w/sp3/Avast_pro-registered.

These might count,Im not sure?
I Installed these 2-days ago;
1.CleanmyPC
2.Ashampoo "Winoptimizer" suite.
3.Ashampoo "Core tuner-2".
ALL Registered Versions.

which one might be to blame I dont know[if any?]
after I Installed those is when I got the "CPU-spikes"
when cruising the net.
