Hello, and welcome to Geeks To Go.
Unusually high CPU usage indicates that there are processes running that consume a lot of resources.
I suggest you go to the Malware Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post a HiJackThis Log in THAT forum. If you are unable to run and/or post a HJT log, then post that in your initial post in the topic you create in that forum.

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).

Are you running the indexer as that will take up a lot of cpu time ?

Another thing you could do is,
go to Control panel,
Then to Administrative Tools,
System Configuration,
Start Up
A list of programs will appear
This will help lower CPU usage...
as well i would recomend Keeping programs that are for Anti- Viruis
