So my computer was running unusually slow tonight when I was playing a game, I checked my task manager.... CPU Usage said 100% and I nearly died.
A friend in the mean time was telling me I must have a crazy virus, but I still refuse to believe this, I'm way to careful and have too many anti-virus programs.

I restarted and it maintained about a 65%. I had no Applications running. I looked at the processes chart and it said 104 total, I remember my old windows xp computer used to have like 35ish, 104 is unheard of too me.

Its a fairly new laptop and just this week I had installed a lot of my old software and hadn't done any restarts in a while, I assume it just couldn't handle it all?



Anyways, what do you guys suggest I do... Heres a screen shot of what I see. Is there any unnecessary items there or an easy way to solve this problem?

post what is running using HJT log, otherwise the fact that is slowing down during the game is neither here nor there.
