I noticed my computer running rather slow recently and checked performance tab in task mgr. only to find that my cpu usage was running at a constant 50-60%. When looking at the processes tab, the only thing that seems to be using cpu's is the System process. I have run numerous antivirus and spyware programs and have found nothing. Anyone have an idea what is going on, and what I can do to fix the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
