System slowdown

[problematic]

Hello!

I installed version 3.47 and after reboot the system becomes very slow. I press ctrl+alt+del to open task window, wait a couple minutes for it and see that cpu usage is allways 100%.
A process "services" is on 99 all the time.
Can anyone help me plz?

CPU 2.8GHZ
1G RAM
Asus P4S800

Have you tried Daemon-Tools 4? Not sayng you cannot use 3.47, but there is a newer version out and maybe will solve the issue for you.

It seems there's some trojan floating around with this filename.
Is this file located at c:\windows\services.exe or c:\windows\system32\services.exe?
The 'good' services.exe (part of Windows) is located in the system32 directory and runs as a service.
If there's an entry in your registry to start this file (located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run) then it's definitely not a legit Windows file.

msconfig

msconfig can help show you what's running at startup. Check all the tabs espcially the Startup tab all the way on the right. Hopefully its a simple trojan you can just remove. If not then some system service is misbehaving. and more troubleshooting will be needed.

I am running it ok now. I tried the version 4 but the problem remained. I reinstalled windows several times and every time it was the same. Last time I unpluged my USB stick and my USB hard drive.Now the daemon 4 is running perfectly. If this could help you I am glad.
