My laptop is going through major lag cycles. It is running fine and then it will totally idle down (system idle process 99) and then after about 20 to 30 seconds it is back up for about min or 2 and then lag again. Does anyone have any ideas. I have run multiple spy and virus programs and it comes up clean. What should I do next?

How many running programs do you have running?

download this program Spyware doctor
http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/download/
trust me it detected some stuff that ad-aware, spybot, and so on did not detect. If it finds it then it will tell you where the files are located so you can remove them manually
or you can buy so the program can remove it by it self

Mess with the best, die like the rest!!!!
