For information, I've tracked down two (Windows98) clients which
appeared to cause the highest smbd CPU usage (due to repeated
api_DosPrintQGetInfo calls) and found an identical cause on each:
Background "adware" from "Alset", HelpExpress running the processes
HXIUL.EXE, HELPEXP.EXE and PRINTMONITOR.EXE.
If I find any other similar causes I'll update the list,
Martin
