Michael,
When this happens to me, which is not very often, it is without
exception some sort of scheduled backup, virus scan, indexing program,
or check for update status. Most of the time it's when the machine has
been off for a while and the scheduled jobs decide to fire up and do all
the tasks that came due while it was down. (That's the main reason I
almost never turn it off!)
I find them via the Processes tab in Task Manager (a couple minutes ago
it said 33% was being used by something called Antimalware service!). I
find out how they got started by looking at the Administrative Tools |
Task Scheduler - it's amazing how much trash programs put in there. For
example, I have four separate scheduled tasks that check for updates on
Google Software. I have removed them, but they come back!
Here's one you'll love. At login of any user, or at 6:47 pm every 7
days, a task updates the "Windows Live Social Object Extractor Engine".
I have no idea whatsoever what it does. <g>
I doubt very much if you have something as sinister as a key logger.
