i was haign problems with IE7, so the troubleshooter gave me the idea of
using MS oncare and while that was running my systeam halted and crashed.
since then whenever i start browsing CPU usage increases and when i try to
wath any video cpu usage reaches 100% and halts the system. and even if i
close the IE with the help of task manager the cpu would keep on running at
100% for atleast 30 mins or so.

have tried every thing i could think of , resetting the IE, re-intsalling
the video drivers etc, virus scan and tried on care once agian which was
successful this time around but the problem is still there....would
appreciate your help.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
