"System" hogs all my resources

When I go into IE6, it takes a while for anything to
happen. When I run Task Manager, under
the "processes"tab, Image name "System", User
Name "System" is using 50-60% of the resources. This
also happens when I try to change web pages. I run
Adaware and Spybot everyday and there is nothing logged.
What could be the problem??
