When i opened it, a DOS window appeared and a few seconds later the speed of my processor increased and the cpu usage was around 80% even though my computer was idle that time. i scanned the system using symantec antivirus and nod 32 but they didnot showed any infected file.  After that i installed a new copy of window xp. but it didnt resolved the problem.  The cpu usage always stays at around 80%.  In windows task manager there is process named &#8216;nhtoav.exe&#8217; thats using all cpu usage and this process doesnt end.<\/p>\n<p>Please help me with this as this is slowing down my system&#8217;s performance and making the processor work unnessesarily and due to it if i attach any removable drive and and then try to safely remove it, i get this message &#8216;The device &#8216;Generic volume&#8217; cannot be stopped right now.  Try stopping the device later.&#8217;  and because of this the data copied in it turns into shortcuts and doesnt open.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":6},"question-category":[],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-390","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=390"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
