Ok. Well I downloaded this program called TizzleTalk, which is a mod for AIM. I used it for a few days as a joke on my friends. Anyway, I removed it a few days ago, but this one thing that came with it, called taar.exe keeps asking for internet access. I deny it's internet access, but somehow the proccess still runs. The only way I can stop the proccess is through task manager. Somehow I think this program has a lot to do with my recent high CPU usage, and since I am a gamer, it really ruins my gaming experience!!!

Click start, run, type msconfig then press enter, then start up to look for it or anything to do with the programme there, remove tick if you see it and reboot, when it gets back to desktop choose do not start config when it loads.

Use search to look for tizzletalk files, remove them to the recycle bin, leave them there until you are sure the PC still runs.

Just a quick addendum to Keith's post: If you use msconfig, when you boot your system you will get a message stating something like " You are using Selective Start-up".. Just ignore it for the time being as it will continue to do that until you clear your problem or you re-enable everything back in msconfig!!
