Starting this morning my OS seems out of control.
Every few minutes or so my PF Usage will shoot from 148MB to 1.08GB and hold steady for a few minutes. The Commit Charge will also shoot from 151M to 1024M. Understandably my PC is rendered unusable, but even after it is very sluggish.
Anyone have an idea why? Homecall, Norton, Spybot and AdAware show me as clean. No virus, no spyware. There's nothing new in my task bar, nothing new in my task manager, nothing new starting up. But every 10 minutes or so I lose control of my PC for the next 3 minutes.
CIDAEMON seems to eat a lot of memory during this, jumping to 34k. And when it comes down Word, if open, starts eating a lot of cycles (100% when typing, if I close out and go back in it's ok). Doesn't seem tied to any program, though, as it starts even if everything is closed.
