Network Connections eating up CPU?
Hey,

I have a certain problem... my CPU usage is increasing more and more even when the computer is at rest. Just on startup it starts at 30% and then from there without openning or doing anything... it gradually increases from 30-80%.

I think I have pinpointed it under services to the Network Connections and when I disable it (Admin Tools ->Services->Network Connections) the problem no longer arises.

The problem is... now I cannot view any of my network connections or their properties... which means I cannot view available networks... and find wireless signals... does anyone have any ideas about what is going on?

Btw processor is a 3.06 ghz HT P4
OS is XP Home

dont know if you have a firewall, but it is best to have one

try to search after some programs that can show what service/programs that is using the network connection.
ex: IP-Tools 2.20 (Shareware)

network connections "never eat up cpu processes". If you look in the task manager, you will see any running processes. Have you got a spyware/malware checker? Antivirus and firewall in place?

If you have got spyware, then there is a sticky in the Windows forum which may be of use to read.
