Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2002 20:50:24 -0700 All day I've been trying to figure out why my colo server's running at about 50% CPU usage, no matter what. We have a lot more traffic, too. Just finally had time to check the server via remote access - MTASK.EXE is eating up the 50%. Is this a trojan virus? Or am I being paranoid? The server does NOT run IIS, BTW...
