CPU is always 100 percent, why??

R

When I open the Windows task manager it reads that my
computer is constantly using 100% of the CPU. So i looked
under the processes tab to see what was running all the
CPU
and it says SVCHOST.EXE is using about 70 percent and
system is using 30 percent. Is this normal or is it making
my computer work much harder than it needs to?



There are also 7 listings of SVCHOST.EXE in the process
tab
for the image name, only one it running 70 percent of the
CPU
..

The multiple svchost's is ok but the one at 70% is not.
Some viruses/spyware/malware/etc.... will use svchost.
1-scan your system with a good antivirus with upto date
definitions.
2-download and run adaware & spybot & cwshredder

Also at 100%, watch you CPU temp go to the max, not good.
