Default 99% CPU Usage ?

Hi there

I downloaded a movie last night, it was 714mb. I virus scanned it with Norton and it passed ok.

When I tried to play it both with VLC or WMP it just froze up my laptop.

I checked the task manager and explorer.exe was running at 99% cpu usage.

I rebooted and the same thing happened again. I did a search and I only have 1 explorer.exe file I assume this is the proper system one.

As soon as I deleted the movie all was ok.

What was it ? and do you think it have left anything nasty behind ?

Any ideas guys
