Ok, I have this computer running XP and everytime you start the cpu is running at 100% constantly. I checked task manager and found two programs running that are causing this. AcroRd31.exe and agsubr.exe
now I know AcroRd should be Acrobat Reader but I don't know why it would be using the cpu as no program is running. Well, I went ahead and un-installed the program but it still shows up in task manager on reboot. As for agsubr.exe I haven't a clue except that it's some sort of prefetch program. Can anybody help me with this? It's annoying to have to manually go into task manager and disabling this since this is my dad's pc and well..you know.
 
TIA

It shouldn't cause any problems. I'm not even sure that Adobe Acrobat 3.1 even works correctly with Windows XP.
