I have a few problems.

Problem number 1: The CPU usage on my laptop is very high due to WMIPRVSE.EXE. I have tried updating Windows update and that fixed the problem some but CPU usage is still 20-30% when doing nothing. It was 50-80% before the fix. Still.. It used to stay around 0-5% when idle. The Computer is an Asus G60JX laptop with Windows 7 installed.

Problem number 2: On the same laptop sometimes my space bar and E key stops working for a few seconds. This problem appears to have started along with the one I described above.

Problem Number 3: On my main desktop one of the GPU's is maxing out as soon as I connect to the internet. I have 2 GTX 470's. Sometimes it's GPU1 and sometimes it's GPU2. I tried using GPU Shark to see what was maxing out the GPU and I didn't see anything abnormal. I suspected it was the bitminer trojan but I can't find any evidence of it being on my hard drive. I have tried scanning with McAfee and the I uninstalled McAfee and ran Avast but they can't find anything. The computer is running Windows 7 professional. More specs are on my profile.

The solution I'm prepared to take is to do a clean install of Windows on my computers and to reseat the ribbon cable on my laptop keyboard just in case because I did take it out about a week ago or so to clean around the edges. But if anyone can help me figure out these problems then that would be better.

1. Using msconfig, set it so Windows only loads up the basic services necessary (Selective/Diagnostic Startup). Then start enabling the startup items slowly. This may take a long time, so if you a couple of hours and the serial key, a reinstall just might be easier and quicker.

I agree but msconfig is how I found the bitminer one time. I saw it... Disabled it.. Deleted the folder it was in... Deleted its registry keys.. But this time I don't see anything obvious. But yeah. I agree that it might just be easier to just reinstall.
