I am getting about 50-70% CPU usage while using firefox. Sometimes it goes down and sometimes it goes
insanely high. I checked processes in task manager but it doesn't seem that I have any processes that can
use that much CPU. I also checked for viruses with malwarebytes in safe mode deleted all of them but still I
get this much CPU usage.
I will attach a screenshot of processes.

That is insane.. I have 72 processes and only use 3 % of my cpu . you have a utorrent exe process running and some high svchost exe processes.. Your Firefox is not that high.. I have had higher than that.. not sure what your issue is.. but.. it is not firefox doing it.

I think it is not a hardware issue because in safe mode it is okay. 3-5%
Maybe some kind of driver or a ninja virus is causing this...

Yeah it is fast when I run it in safe mode, but with this CPU usage on normal mode it is slow like I am running it on a toaster... -_-

In safe mode you don't get everything loaded.. you may want to shut anything down not needed .. as in any browser you have open .. and just let MBAM run by itself

I think I solved this...
The problem was the glyph launcher. I downloaded it 2 days ago and a day after my pc was slowed down for quite a lot.
I just checked on google and saw other people got that problem too so I just uninstalled it and now I get max 30% cpu usage.
Anyways thanks for help yard dog :)
Is there any way to rate your help?
