winlogon.exe using 99% cpu

[Branden]

Hey, I'm not sure what i did but since yesterday i have had the problem of every 30 seconds or so the cpu is completely taken up by my winlogon.exe.

I have ran

AD-Aware

Anti-vir (which it wont let me update, it jsut closes itself during update)

and Stinger

at recieved some errors of trojans when i ran anti-vir which it deleted but i still have the problem.

Here is my hijackthis log

When you say the CPU is totally taken up by the service...are you tlalking about that CPU graph? If so then have you tried some free online scans like those from Panda, and Trendmicro? Those are the only 2 that i know of. Try them out. Then post aback to and let us know if they got the bug or not. Also give www.ewido.com a shot. That is one badass software.

i tried the trendmicro and it found some spyware and like 3 trojans, and i cleared them but im still getting the winlogon to jump in the 99% cpu useage. Ewido didnt find anything unfortunetly. I checked my regedit and found one called winIogon, with a capital i instead of l so i deleted it and tried booting in safemode. The winlogon stays around 425 kb in that mode and when my internet is off. But when i turn the internet on on regular it jumps up to 99% again. I'm not sure why its doing this..also is it bad that i have 6 scvhost's, one of which is using 18 mb. whats going on?
