whenever i booted my pc,the cpu usage was at %60-70 (when it should have been %10-20 max) so i opened up task manager and noticed a svchost.exe using the cpu.Normally,when you end a svchost.exe process,the windows gets messed up right? well when i ended that specific svchost process that was using the cpu,the windows got even faster! so i opened mcsonfig and and checked everything and that's when i noticed this unfamiliar file called monxga32.exe
I googled it and after i saw this page,i deleted the file from its location.So i rebooted my pc and viola! everything's back to normal.No cpu overload or any weird thing.Sooo yeah monxga32.exe is definitely a virus and should be deleted(and reported) right away

Similar to Hakan's situation, my CPU had been hovering at around 60% for the past several hours. I opened Process Explorer and discovered that around 50% of this was being hogged by the Svchost that runs DcomLaunch and TermService. Based on some guesswork, I took a peek in my Startup folder (My Computer -> C: -> Documents and Settings -> Username -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup) and found the weirdly-named file monxga32.exe, which I wasn't able to delete manually. I googled it, ended up here, and used FreeFixer to delete it. Once I rebooted, my CPU returned to its usual 5%-ish.

I cannot delete monxga32.exe. In the route(My Computer -> C: -> Documents and Settings -> Username -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup) that appears it she does not exist. Help me please, freefixed is late too much hours in scanning
# 20 Apr 2010, 18:58
Ivan , i runned freefix for all night long in my office because i got monxga32.exe virus. At the end of process freefix deleted this virus and now my computer is working perfect again. Be patient run it and your problem will be fixed

Hey,
I have this monxga32.exe virus. In msconfig I can see it under the start tab and my CPU is running at 50%+ usage.
I downloaded and ran freefixer, but it does not show the monxga32.exe file. From your post above:
...."3. In the scan result, locate items which mention monxga32.exe, and check its "Delete" checkbox. monxga32.exe usually appears under "Autostart shortcuts" and/or "Recently created or modified files"....
The scan does not show any results for "Autostart shortcuts" i.e. there is not even a Autostart shortcuts section showing results. It's completely missing. Recently created or modified files results are shown and the monxga32.exe file is not there.
Any ideas?
I've also posted this in the Freefixer google forum along with the scan log.

After having a lot of trouble with Windows and repair - installing it for several times (the problem was that windows restarted continously at log on; I couldn't event log on in safe mode)I found the file monxga32.exe situated in "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup". My antivirus skipped scanning that file (it said it can not open it). I googled monxga32.exe, I found this page (and others) and concluded that it is a virus. I tried deleting it in cmd:
"del /A - monxga32.exe /F"
and got the message that it can not be deleted because it is used by a program. Googled it again and found that it could have something to do with the process svchost.exe (if that process consumes a lot of CPU). I examined the processes with Task Manager and found a svchost.exe process with 50% CPU. I ended that process and a window appeared telling me that the computer will restart in 60 seconds. Before it restarted I managed to delete the file in cmd with: "del /A - monxga32.exe /F" . Then Windows started normally and the monxga32.exe was gone. I hope this helps!

Another fix that does not require a download is to use Window's "System Restore" option. I went back almost a month using system restore, and once that was complete, my system returned to normal.
