I have notcied a problem in the last few weeks with the way XP is running.  That is slower! 
 
The other day i checked out task manager to find the CPU is at 100% constantly, restarts do not help this, i have been in MSCONFIG to stop all the processes i do not recognise, i havnt installed anything recently. 
 
I have run antivirus - NAV 2004 with latest defos, the HouseCall online one, and also ran Ad-Aware and is clean for viruses and Ad aware removed 40 spy objects, so theoretically its clean, but the CPU is still constant at 100% annoying.

Look on the process list, click CPU to 'sort by CPU usage'... 
 
Then find out what process is using 100% CPU... 
 
Only thing listed should be 'System Idle Process' which will always use the rest of the available CPU... (like 97% etc)...

yes Tim, thats the weird thing because the system idle process is using around 00% and System is using around 97% with the other processes not adding up to this :/
