Hi,

System is running very slow even after using ad-
aware. "System idle process" is eating up 90% of my cpu.
What is this?

Thanks,
 
System Idle Process is what your system is doing when it's idle; in other
words: nothing.

Idle is the key word there. That means the amount of resources that are
idle, i.e., doing nothing. It is waiting for something to do. If you see
something like 10%, you may have something to worry about. So far as
slowness goes, cleanup your system and run spyware removal tools.
