Hello, Recently I have been encountering slow downs in my laptop... and the internet connection now and then. I removed some spyware and about 3 trojans from my PC today... But what keeps bugging me is that under processes, I have an Image Name "System", its not "system.exe" or "system idle process", its simply just "System". Image Name: System Username: SYSTEM It's always as the one that is taking most memory usage... and sometimes the CPU Usage jumps to 19% or somewhere arround that. It takes from about 51,700k of memory usage to something higher. What could this thing be anyway? It's bugging me quite a lot. Some help would be appriciated! Thanks!

"System" naturally takes up most your CPU. It accounts for processor time when the system isn't processing other threads.

To find out what each Startup(or Process) item does or means, and any recommendation as to if you should close the process: http://www.answersthatwork.com/Task... Task List Programs OR http://www.processlibrary.com/ The Process Library

Hey thanks for your answers! I still find it strange since this did not appear in my task manager 2 days ago. I have searched arround Google too and found out that some people had this "System" take a lot of CPU and Memory and their computers would freeze within a while.
