My computer is running extremely sluggish, and this "ycxxgs" process
keeps popping up no matter how many times I end the process (in Task
Manager, running Win XP Pro).  Running a scan from Ad-Aware 6, but the
computer is never This slow, and I run Ad-Aware 6 scans Every morning!
 Please help me to find out what's hijacking my system!

Did you updated Adaware?

Please do the following:
Remember to disable System Restore if your operating system is Windows Me or XP.

1- Scan your computer for virus or trojans, preferably an online scan
(because the installed antivirus could be hijacked too!!). Try with
the following free services:

trojans in your computer:
