Removed a bunch of malware from a Windows 7 PC using Malwarebytes.

After cleaning, and probably before, PC was extremely slow.
Found wmpnetwk hogging all the CPU, 40 to 50 %.

Stopped and set to Manual the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing SErvice" but every time I rebooted, it started again.
I finally "Disabled" it and it seems to stay that way.
I'm turning the PC lose to my customer but my question is will it stay disabled or is there something else I have to do.
Thanks,
Pete

Hello... the wmpnetwk is Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.
Its a part of Windows Media 11. Sometimes Media Player 11 will share media between different computers on the same network, and share media with the XBox 360..

It will stay disabled.

How do I get help? Who is helping me?
