Generally, this is a sign of an infection of some sort, whether it be virus or malware of some sort. Clean your system for any and all bugs of that nature but do it in full scan mode...it's going to take awhile so be patient. Also, run more than just malware type app.

No I don't have any malware on my computer i'm 100% sure about that I always do a full scan every month so and i'm having this problem since I installed windows 7

When you use utorrent you can get infected in a very short time, less than a minute. Scans once a month is good but doing them when their might be a problem is also important. Utorrents is one of the best ways to get infected known to mankind.

No, I download from a trusted source and I'm running Malwarebytes full protection, and Avast Internet Security. did a scan with Hitman Pro nothing found !! and I have this problem with just downloading files from http:// also so...

ever tried scanning malwarebytes...like now...there might be an infection....just my hypothesis

 

[bassfisher6522]

You should use more than just one software application to scan for malware....not one program finds everything, if so everyone would be using it. Some suggestions.

Malwarebytes
SpyBot S&D
Super AntiSpyware
Ccleaner
Adaware

Just stop it I'm not infected scanned with MBAM, Avast, Hitman ok nothing found!!!. Please help me fix this ok this is weird a friend of mine had the same problem... he installed Windows XP Pro and now the interrupts are at max 3% even with 2mb/s so is this a problem with Windows 7 or what ?? maybe you guys can't see this bug because you all have a strong processor but I have a Pentium 4 ... But yeah that has nothing to do with it because on XP it uses max 3% of the cpu ...

Bump (sorry)

Shot in the dark -> Have you run "sfc /scannow" from an elevated command prompt? It could be a corrupted system file causing this.

Ok I'll try that

 

[GianniDPC]

'There are no violations of integrity found.' So that seems to be ok. What can I do next ??

 

[FliGi7]

It's hard to say what's going on if there has been nothing malicious found. Might be time to see if a System Restore to a point previous to where this issue started in order to see if that fixes it, or a Repair Install.

 

[GianniDPC]

Well I had this issue already after a clean install. I think a repair install is a last thing I'll do because I already reinstalled windows not long ago and I don't want to do it again as I don't have much time etc. I really want to try some other suggestions first

Again only while downloading things right now I don't download anything and the Interrupts are normal 0.86% (I also already tried another Wireless internet adapter) and :S I also seem to have this problem on my duo core laptop ??!!

 

[GianniDPC]

This is just unnormal:

again this high cpu usage

 

[logicearth]

Interrupts are from the hardware side of things, not software/Windows.
Thus it is probably whatever it is you are using for networking and its drivers.

I know but how can I stop this ? this cpu usage is not normal while downloading files I expect ??!!

Is this noticeably slowing down your computer? It sounds like it could be an issue with your network card or driver.

Have a look at this and see if anything resonates with your particular issue:
