Winkllh.dll taking up all of my CPU...

**Snake785** · May 4th, 2002

I don't know what this is but it takes up all of my CPU sometimes and it really slows down my computer. Can anyone tell me what's up? I installed McAffe to see if it was a virus but when I try to open it, it doesn't open. I'm usin Win2k, btw. Thanks for any help!

[edit] I tried to end that process but it said Access is denied. And i am logged on as Administrator.

Here is a screenshot of what is running when I start up my computer. And yes, I restarted but it still happens.

That's odd. I tried to do some research on your problem and I couldn't find a single thing. I really have no idea, man, but it's really add that it's using 100% of your CPU resources.

I know, its very odd. I have no clue what this program does. and it shouldn't be doing this. But the weird thing is, is that it uses up 100%, goes down to 2-3% then goes back up to 100%. this is really bothering me cause it just started a few hours ago.

[update] it appears that my scanner has some kind of problem. It's am HP Scnjet 2200c and for some reason it is not working properly. The "Unplug/eject Hardware" icon is in my taskbar and it says that my registry is corrupted. How can I fix it? I hope someone can help. Oh, I hope there is a solution other than reinstall cause I have no time to reinstall windows right now.

Its a virus called WORM_KLEZ.G. You'll need to download and run a special cleaner for it.

Now, why didn't that turn up in my search? :confused:

**Snake785** · May 5th, 2002

Damn, now I can't open up ANY programs, that stupid virus corrupted all of my excecutables. I have to redownload all the programs I have. *sigh*

Well, at least I don't have to reinstall windows so I shouldn't be complaining too much.
