Hello;
My CPU is almost always at 100% usage, and so my computer starts to run real slow.
I have used procexp.exe to find out what it was being used by, and I found this svchost taking up the most (below is a picture).
If more information is needed, just ask.
Thanks for the help!

Hi tyg123 welcome to SF :)

Please run task manager\Processes click on CPU to move up in the list the most cpu consuming processes.

Then take a screenshot of the manager\Processes and post it here.

Also write here ur cpu and ram specs.

Thanks for the welcome!
Also, the svchost highlighted is the one I mentioned before. It's gone down in CPU usage somewhat since my computer has been on for some time.
I have a 64-bit OS with 6 Gigs of RAM.

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but:
CPU E7500
@2.93GHz
Also, I got a larger image of the tasks, but this is as large as it can get, I think.
(Is that what you meant by "expand it"?)

Go in task manager and enable the 'command line' option
Then see which program is triggering the svchost.exe processes

@ panais: I've scanned in both modes, and it only resulted in tracking cookies being removed. It still runs like it did.
@yowanvista: The command line leads to System32, and the process is still svchost.exe.
