    My friends PC is having this problem.

    CPU is maxed out - 100 to 97% with a short drop that allows
    some user actions to happen (each mouse-click can take up to a
    minute to be executed.

    System is very (i mean verrrry) slow from bootup to shutdown.

    What i see is: in the Windows folder:
    There is a "Temp" subfolder, it only contains 1 file - GLF60.exe.
    According to the web this is some sort of a data recovery
    program. Clicking on it does nothing.

    I have turned the 'show all files and extensions' but nothing
    happens.

    Clicking on the Winnt folder does show some files/folders but
    nothing like system or system32 folders. Clicking on a folder
    in winnt, will open a different folder (not the folder i tried to open)
    then take me back to 'My Computer'.

    The task manager shows 'Services.exe' as getting 100% CPU
    time. I cannot change the status of this service at all.

    Whatever virus this is, its a good one (if there is such a thing.. I
    can't find a solution or even a starting point to get it fixed.......

    Ideas, suggestions, advice or just a thought will be welcomed,
    thanks,
    savagcl
