[valstampede]

I've noticed lately that my computer is lagging- every couple of seconds things just slow down immensely, then get fast again. When I look at the CPU usage of all my processes, msnmsgr.exe will take up a massive amount- up to around 90%- then go back down. I can't figure out why it's doing it, and I've run AdAware and CyberLat RAM cleaner and neither really helps. I don't want to just delete msnmsgr.exe though, because I'm not sure exactly what it is. So I'm just going to post the hijackthis log, and hope someone can help me out.
