I have a 4 month old samsung laptop with reasonably good specs (i-5, 4 gbs RAM) but In the last week or so I have noticed that my CPU usage is near constantly 100% after some investigation I have found Ping.exe to be the main culprit, it continually spikes my CPU usage even when I'm using my laptop for very light tasks- i.e using chrome etc. I have run several malware and anti virus scans but they have failed to show anything so far. Anyone have any ideas about possible causes/solutions? Any help would be appreciated! Quinn1992
