Has anyone seen in the last couple of hours any signs of virus activity?  We have seen multiple computers through out 
our networks where the system process (and no, not the System Idle Process) using 100% of the processor.  We have 
seen it on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines so far.

I have checked several sites with no luck yet.

TIA

You aren't alone. I'm fighting this bizzare problem on a network right now. 100% cpu usage
on all affected machines. We don't see any unusual network traffic from these machines
however. If the machine is rebooted, we can log back in but we never get to a useful 
desktop because the CPU is too busy doing other crap.

Anyone else?
