ShellEx.EXE eating up CPU?
Is this a normal process for WinXP professional? It seems to be eating a lot of cpu time? It is in the WINNT\System32\ShellEx. EXE.

That file does not exist anywhere on my system, so no, it would not appear to be normal. Have you installed anything that modifies the way the shell works? If you can't figure out why that file is there, you should do a virus/trojan scan.... and make sure you have the latest virus definitions!
More info.... I did a search on www.antivirus.com and found this: TROJ_ANAKHA.A - sounds exactly like what you are describing! It is classified as "low risk", but you should still get it cleaned up asap....
