CPU @ 100% when i connect to internet
hey guys, new here great website BTW. i am having problems with my laptop, i'm running win7 home basic and everytime i connect to the internet (note, i am tethering my phone) my CPU usage spikes up to 100%. i have tried disabling windows updates to see if that was causing the spike and it still does it. only things running for the most part are FF and MSE and the other normal processes for windows. i have scanned for viruses/malware and have came up clean. i'm puzzled.
