For what seems like no reason at all my CPU has been extremely lagging lately. I have just noticed that when accessing the Performance tab in Task Manager, the CPU usage is constantly hovering at around 99-100%. The only processes I have running are ones that are necessary for my computer to function; I had even turned off all applications relating to my NAV2004 program. I used Ad-aware to remove any spyware and checked for viruses, but I found nothing suspicious. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Which processes specifically are using all of your CPU resources? With task manager open, click the CPU tab at the top of the list several times, and it will rank your processes in order of CPU usage... highest to lowest or lowest to highest, whichever you prefer.

Actually I meant CPU usage, one tab over to the left. Click it a couple times to get these in order of highest to lowest. Mem Usage in this case doesn't really tell us what we need to know.
