failure audit

Hi I have been trouble shooting a program lagging real bad when I noticed a Whole Bunch of failure audits in the event viewer security logs in win xp. Here's where it gets interesting, the failure audit are occuring about 5 times a second, and it is still occuring. Now I did a netstat -ano and did not see any service accessing the network other than usual connection to the domain. I checked task manager and nothing is running other than normal system processes. I turned up nothing on a virus scan and zone alarm is not blocking anything at the moment. Does any one know what could be causing this and how to stop it?

Failure audits for what event?

Okay I figured out the problem. I had auditing turned on in the local security policies, and for audit privilage use I had specified success,failure. Since the user was not an administrator it was logging a failure because I was viewing the event viewer and did not have permissions to do so. I turned audit privilage use to no auditing and it stopped filling up my event viewer with failure audits for privilage use.
