Question Is there a bug in the Windows XP Task manager?


The CPU usage of my system running on Intel P4 HT,1GB DDR2 RAM. The process list doesn't shows any usage of the CPU and it is 99% idle but the graph shows it is being used 25% all the time. Can anyone has a explanation for this or i should assume that this is just another Microsoft bug.

PS : - Please don't waste your as well as my time by saying it is photoshopped as you can see the photoshop.exe process running in the process list. Since I don't had Snagit and any other screen capture program as i had just installed the OS and the essential softwares I used print screen to take screenshots then pasted and edited them in Photoshop.

See image


The Hijackthis log file is also attached. I am using NOD32 antivirus and there was no rootkit

Try RootKitRevealer from sysinternals.com because this seems like a badly programmed rootkit to me.
