Just today I noticed if I try to do anything at all, my cpu usage will go straight up to 100%, whether its click my start menu, or just doing anything more than browsing the web, it still quickly shoots up and lags me really bad, I have ESET Smart Security 4 and I've checked my HiJackThis for anything bad and it's clean, I don't get why its so slow, It's XP Pro with 768mb of ram and a Pentium 4 northwood 2.0ghz processor(Single core)

I can't, I use process explorer its better, and even with that it changes, one minute explorer.exe is taking 80% cpu usage, the next minute process explorer itself eats 50%, then suddenly chrome eats 100%, and then it goes back down, but then if I do anything it'll suddenly begin to lag, before anybody suggests me to run malware cleaning guides, I'm pretty sure I'm clean
