I'm seeing super high CPU Usage ever since I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (about a month ago). I open up the task manager and see:

System Idle - hovers around 70% (which I assume is normal for idle)
System - 30-40%
Then single digits through the rest of the list.

Specs -
Intel DUO E7400 @ 2.8
6 GB RAM
64bit Windows 7

How do I go about diagnosing this issue?

Thanks for the help!
Paul

I suggest that you start a new topic in the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal area.

Before you start a new topic click on this link --> Malware and Spyware Cleaning Guide, Please read before starting a new topic. This will give you a few preparations to make, as well as instruction for posting your OTListIt2 log.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
