i also experience this. AIM 4.7.2480, AIM+ 2.2.1 (build 65)
win2k pro, pIII 700, 512megs ram, transparency is off. logging is on. i've got the banner turned off and the button bar on the bottom turned off. everything else is whatever the default values are.
it will randomly use 90-100% of my processor for maybe a minute to two minutes, then back to normal. i've experienced this 3 times ever. i'm on a permanent connection and always have aim+ running, and i reboot every 3 weeks or so.
i'm 100% sure i don't have a virus.

same 100% CPU usage as well.
When i use AIM+ (or anytime AIM+ is in the taskbar) everytime i listen to music, watch videos, or play internet games, it locks up my computer and i have to unplug it, it freezes the power button as well. at first i wasnt 2 sure if that was the case but i tried it without AIM+ and my computer worked fluently. i have not uninstalled this program simply because i like it so much, although the repeated hangs and freezes is really a kick in the face.
I HATE SPYWARE.
My INFO
1) how long does it use 100% of your CPU after it starts? forever? just a few seconds, several minutes? I
