DLL Running at 75%!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

In Windows Task Manager I can see CA93986D6.DLL running at anything between
0% and 75% CPU. Can anyone tell me what this is?

Tks in advance.

given the random looking name and the cpu usage it is almost certainly virus
or trojan related, have you scanned ?

Search for that DLL, right-click it, select Properties and see if any additional information is provided.

Scan your PC with a current antivirus program and with an antispyware software.
