100% CPU! HALP! w/ Win 8.1 Pro infected by malicious content that reoccurs even after a factory restart. I've tried near everything malwarebytes, win defender, I'm still too new to effectively use MMC, or GPEDIT.MSC,

Some form of malicious content is assaulting my PC's registrys, drivers, along with portraying as other Users, and programs. It's a constant struggle to keep my property, authority, permission under my control over security ownership of my files etc. I
have seen PUP and PUM files in scans, I'm still learning the different forms of malicious content, but I have a feeling there's male-ware, root-kit, and ad-ware that I haven't Identified. Even though my network is private, haven't even created a home-group,
and all my remote access is turned off, but I haven't ruled out someone still being clever enough to access my system/network remotely. I've tried to keep my computer as secure as possible, multiple passwords, and two-step verification I thought I was going
off the deep end when I started to suspect my SYSTEM profile had been compromised. I can't tell if it's a phony, or actually my system taking away everything until I literally cant do a thing on my computer.  I didn't want to remove any files that I shouldn't.
When ever I feel that I'm about to lose complete control over my PC I restore it to factory condition, it's about all I can do. Even after 5 restarts it's persistent. I"ve stopped short of using the more extreme programs like Anti-maleware tool Adlice,
RogueKiller, and Combofix. I've actually learned a lot about script, and IS no thanks to my computers new little friends. I've been dealing with this malicious content since december upgrading OS from 7 up to 8.1 has really been the only thing my computer
and I from being completely run over. Some newer up to date advice would be great, I don't want to use out of date or ineffective programs the instructions I've been following are sometimes several years, to at least months old. No point in waisting my time
if the information is irrelevant and out of date. I'll attach some of my reports, and the progams that I have/haven't used yet. I have several MS accounts, from XboX, college, and this old one I was contemplating on putting all three of them in an admin group,
making it more difficult to challenge my authority, or maybe just joining a workgroup/domain would also work. Last night I did use GPEDIT.MSC to disable inheratance, followed by a taking global ownership, if it I actually managed to get GPEDIT.MSC to can't
wait to get my hands I"m kind of enjoying myself though, it's been fun teaching myself IS I always wanted to learn how to use CMD script with proper syntax, I was starting the think that my only solution was to learn command prompt, but there may be a
newer programm that just might work. I've been using reginout, drivertoolkit, MBAM/backup/chameleon, ncleaner, cclearner, and many others. I've scanned but haven't put combofix, roguekiller, or Adlice to the grind stone, I'd probably do more harm not being
able to tell whats more benine for beneficial. Here is a link to the instructions that I was following https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/149492-pcregserviceexe-infection-pup-infections/ the members description was also very close to what I was
dealing with, he just had better luck with MBAM

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

  • 100% CPU Usage in CS5.5 Premiere Pro during export/encoding

    I am wondering why my CPU usage is so high during exporting of my videos.  My counter shoots up to 100% as soon as I start and hovers at 95% throughout the whole process.  This seems dangerous to me so I wanted to bring it up here as I haven't found anyone with this same issue on this website or google.  Here are my system specs:
    i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz
    6 GB of Ram
    64 bit windows 7
    Geforce 660 ti graphics card (2gb)
    They aren't top of the line but I feel like it should be capable of encoding.  I've cleaned my fans and tried using avi and h.264 formats which both led to the same issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm new to premiere pro so I'm sure I left some useful information out above.

    "...the same results"
    This means high CPU usage, right?
    Correct
    Are your exported media files ok?
    I've only completed one because I was freaked out but yes they are fine.
    I guess the thing I'm worried about is my temps going up really high because of the 100% usage.  I thought that they were both entertwined as in high usage = high temps.  I'll look for a temperature program to run while encoding and I'll monitor how high the temps get.  You've given me hope here as I may have been making mountains out of mole hills.  If the temperatures are high would you recommend more fans in my desktop?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't play imported files even after changing format, etc?

    Camera: Canon Legria HFM41

    For the past few days I've been trying to understand why my video files won't play in Premiere, I'll import them, and when I press play the audio will work, but the video will play smoothly for only a few seconds then stop, skipping frames/slowing the speed of the video - I've read a lot of these forums on similar issues, then I tried converting the format to avi/mp4 and they still won't play smoothly when importing to Premiere Pro.. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong/how to solve this.. Thank you!

  • Firefox 3.6.10 update won't load on restart (tried many times) and exits after warning to restart again - how to disable warning so don't have to start twice every time I use Firefox?

    I regret agreeing to download Firefox 3.6.10 update, as it is somehow corrupted, and will not load when I restart. Subsequently, every time I start Firefox, it warns "Update Ready to Install", then when I don't restart (if I restart, it won't load) it exits, and I have to start Firefox a second time. Then it works without the warning, but when I exit and start Firefox again, the warning returns and the cycle repeats. This is such a nuisance I have gone back (reluctantly) to Explorer. Is there anyway for me to get rid of this corrupted update and go back to before I downloaded the fateful update?

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

  • After my phone died, I am trying to update my 4S 64 gig data onto my new 5S 16 gig.  I want to use the backup but it is too large.  What can I do now?

    Is there a way to be selective with what I want backed up and what I don't?  Furthermore could I save what I don't want backed up onto my computer (e.g. pictures, notes, etc.)?

    No, there's nothing you can do except get an iPhone big enough to restore or setup as new then sync content back manually.

  • Facetime using 100+% CPU?

    Hello everyone, recently I have noticed my fans kicking into over drive while on a facetime video call, I checked Activity Monitor and realized that Facetime was using over 100% CPU, with the system running at about 10%.
    I found that making Facetime full screen, and using the 4-finger swipe to hide Facetime instantly dropped the CPU down to about 34%. However, the video is paused, making this work-around pretty useless, considering what Facetime is used for.
    I am not sure if this is because of updates or firmwares, i have all the latest updates, the OS is Yosemite 10.10.1.
    If anyone has any information regarding this, or is experiencing the same issue, a response will be greatly appreciated. I have searched on the internet, however I can't seem to find any solutions or viable work-arounds.
    Below is my MBP configuration
    Macbook Pro early 2011 2.3GHZ i5
    4GB 1333 MHZ DDR3
    Startup Disk Samsung SSD 250
    Intel HD graphics 3000 384 MB
    New MacbookPro battery, few months old.

    Another information :
    if I run two java program on the same time (using same instance of eclipse), the two javaw.exe each use exactly 50% (if nothing else if running).

  • Firefox 15.0.1 stops responding (100% cpu) when a link opens in a new window.

    Whenever I click a link that is designed to open in a new window Firefox goes straight to 100% cpu usage and I have to go through the Windows "end now" sequence to close the program. I've tried opening one of the links in a new window but I think it was done in java not html (not sure if all the links are java when this happens as that's the only one I've tested). Not sure what details someone might need but this is on my Mom's older laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition Ver. 2002 Service Pack 2. Hmmm just saw the SP2 will try to update and see what that does though I don't think that's the issue.

    So what is happening or not happening now ? The problem computer is your Moms, but I assume your own computer works ok. Have you tried that on the same internet connection as your Mom uses & visiting the same sites?
    Also try Internet Explorer. If that is also very slow the problem may not lie with Firefox.
    I suggest you try the Firefox Reset feature on your Mom's computer,
    * BUT first of all
    **make a note of the software extensions that are in use, and bookmark their download and support sites.
    ** back up the Firefox profile [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * follow the instructions in the following article, after reading the caution about what will be lost
    **[[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]]

  • F1 live timing taking 100% CPU

    I realise this is a pretty obscure problem. F1's live timing service runs as a Java applet in a browser: http://www.formula1.com/services/live_t … popup.html (registration required, but it should load and run at any time, not just on race weekends). Obviously, I haven't used it since last October, and when I fired it up this weekend it just sat there, taking 100% CPU.
    It doesn't seem to be the JVM at fault: other Java applets run fine, and I've tried downgrading to a version I know worked last year. Neither is it anything in the applet itself: I have another Arch partition which I cloned off this one last November, and it works perfectly there (it doesn't seem to be the kernel, either; I tried booting this "current" partition with the kernel from that one). However, so many packages have been upgraded - and I've tinkered so much with this install - since then, that it could be literally anything.
    For that reason, I don't expect anyone to come up with an immediate answer, but I'd appreciate some ideas on how to narrow down the possibilities and figure out what might be causing this.
