Unless you show us all of it it's of no use to us.
CPU Usage always 75% to 100%
- Thread starter cased
- Start date
Unless you show us all of it it's of no use to us.
Use Pslist to find out what is actually driving your CPU up. Download it from the link below and run it in a cmd prompt window. pslist -t -s
It will show you all the process's and sub process's you are running and will let you know which one is actually causing you the grief.
Once you know which one it is, it will be much easier to fix your issue.

Edit:
I am not to sure why people are asking for the pic of the task manager as it does not actually tell you very much. Pslist is much better and is actually detailed.
Also, get rid of the Google tool bar. McAfee tends to not play very nice with it, and cause's issues. At work I have McAfee installed on about 1900 desktop's and I have seen that toolbar cause grief on so many of them that we simple bar it from being installed anymore.

a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless causing problems
should not be terminated
C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe
smss.exe is a process which is a part of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. It is called the Session Manager Subsystem and is responsible for handling sessions on your system. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
winlogon.exe is a process belonging to the Windows login manager. It handles the login and logout procedures on your system. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
services.exe is a part of the Microsoft Windows Operating System and manages the operation of starting and stopping services. This process also deals with the automatic starting of services during the computers boot-up and the stopping of services during shut-down. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe
The process lsass.exe serves as the Local Security Authentication Server by Microsoft, Inc. It is responsible for the enforcement of the security policy within the operating system. This process checks whether a user’s supplied identification is valid or not whenever he or she tries to access the computer system.
With the execution of the file lsass.exe, the system acquires security by preventing the access of unwanted users to any private information. The file lsass.exe also handles the password modifications done by the user.
The process lsass.exe mainly operates in the system through its ability to create access tokens. These tokens encapsulate the file’s security descriptor, which contains the necessary information to process user authentication such as data on which user holds access to the system and whether the access is mandatory or discretionary and should not be terminated.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe
ati2evxx.exe is a process installed alongside ATI Display Adapters and provides additional configuration options for these devices. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
The file svchost.exe is the Generic Host Process for Win32 Services used for administering 16-bit-based dynamically linked library files (DLL files) including other supplementary support applications.
As operating systems became more complex Microsoft decided to run more software functionality from a dynamic link library (DLL) interface. However DLLs are unable to launch themselves and require at least one executable program, i.e. svchost.exe, is needed to bridge between the library process and the operating system.
Through the solitary file svchost.exe, the DLLs efficiently contain and dispense Win32 services as well as neatly facilitate the execution of svchost.exe’s own operations. Acting as a host, the file svchost.exe creates multiple instances of itself. The multiple executions of the file svchost.exe contribute to the stability and security of the operating system by reducing the possibility of a crashing process that causes a domino effect on its neighbor processes, thereby creating a system-wide crash in the machine.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
The explorer.exe file is an executable file for Windows Explorer. In the Microsoft Windows operating system, the explorer.exe file runs and has a graphical user interface that you can see when you are opening hard drives or files. Sometimes, the graphical user interface of the explorer.exe file is referred to as Windows GUI shell or Explorer.
The explorer.exe file was created to replace the Windows 3.x File Manager, which is the older version of the application embedded on previous versions of the MS Windows environment. The explorer.exe file is executed when the user double-clicks on the My Computer desktop icon and the one found in the Start menu. The explorer.exe file was initially used only to navigate or browse files, but as newer versions of Windows were released, it evolved to being a file management system that is task-based.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
The spoolsv.exe file is described as the Spooler SubSystem App or Windows Print Spooler Service and is the main component of the printing interfaces. The spoolsv.exe file is initialized when the computer starts, and it runs in the background until the computer is turned off.
The process spoolsv.exe transfers the data in a buffer. If the printer needs the data, it will retrieve it from the buffer. While the spoolsv.exe file is storing the data in the buffer, the user can carry out other operations. The spoolsv.exe process is also responsible for queuing printing tasks. Through this function, the user does not need to wait for each printing task to be completed one after the other.
When a printer is in use, the Print Spooler service or the spoolsv.exe file is launched, and the process can be seen running in Windows Task Manager. In case you are not using a printer, the spoolsv.exe process can be closed through the Task Manager.

I'm not getting a good feeling about that one.
I'm glad McAfee was brought up. I know it's virus protection, but if I don't pay the service fee, it does me no good right? Because it doesn't have the latest updates? This program has been driving me nuts. It acts like malware in that it keeps nagging me to update. I would get really p***** off because it would interupt me in the middle of a game with its stupid pop up dialog box. Here's the worst part: I tried uninstalling it using Add/Remove programs and it didn't work. It's like worse than any malware, spyware, or virsus I've ever gotten.
I like the google toolbar. I'd rather not get rid of it, but since two people recommended it, I will to see what happens.

Your HijackThis Log is very messy, either i recommend: A) Contact me via private message so i can give you my msn to help you out, or B) go to: http://spywareinfoforum.com and go to the malware removal section, post a hijackthis log there and also a MalwareBytes anti malware log.
I agree. It is time this guy stop by Malwarebytes web site and download their software.

That unknown process should be looked at. The only reference to that exe file on Google is this website. But no, McAfee is of no use anymore once the subscription is over with. If you're not paying for it, get a rid of it and replace it with some free software as even though it's "shields" are still running, they're not getting updated so they don't notice new threats. Many computers I have to remove viruses, spyware and malware from it, often times I'll come across an OEM installed Norton or McAfee that is out of date by years and I've told the people every time I see that, that those annoying messages are saying something; either pay up to update it or move on to some other software.
Also I'd trash the Google Toolbar as well. It's a resource waster in my opinion of being a gamer. Besides, the real usefulness is to save a few clicks/strokes, and I certainly don't see it as an effective use of my RAM.

Heh, I have the same processor but mine is 2.7GHz
