u got 2 many windows processes running
 if it using 80% on windows only then u have some major windows problems. by the way what version of windows are you using? If its not Windows XP then you need to go buy it or it could be how old your computer processor is. post your computer specs on here and someone should be able to help you

Could be spyware.
Search for ad-aware and spybot on google and install those. |

The problem is most likely adware and spyware like Roly said. If you don't already have these programs, the links for Ad-Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy are below. Scan your system with both of these programs, preferably in safe mode.

Aaahhh by the looks of it, its spyware. Spyware is the worst thing know to the computer world. It just bogs up EvErYtHiNg and its soooooo annoying. As some other people said, its best to just get spyware programs and update/run them constantly/all the time and it should start to speed up a bit.

I don't actually why that happens but I dont think it is due to spyware. I have Spybot and PC-Cillin (updated everyday). Earlier my windows XP was alright now it shows 2-4% CPU utilization. Mine is a Athlon2400+,nForce2-400. I think it is because of problems with windowsXP.
