ping.exe is part of the o/s so something is obviously looping an instruction and calling these executables wasting your cpu. don't delete ping.exe,try using process monitor from sysinternals to find the executable responsible for this behaviour,then post what you find here. if the antivirus finds nothing or you want to remove it manually. * +

Ping.exe is not a virus like said of edit.or is part of the os and it's the way to check if the pc is connected to another pc by typing in command line ping 192.168.0.2 the 1st pc is 192.168.0.1 so if 192.168.0.2 reply the pc is connected, or you can use ping.yahoo.com it's defend on you where use it. *
