    High CPU Usage

    Task Manager shows that my System Idle Process is running in 80s and 90s.
    As soon as I open a program CPU of that particular program goes sky high. For instance at the moment I am listening some music via WMP and the CPU is running between 10-15. But if I try to open another program CPU will rocket. And obviously it will take long time to open.
    This behavior has only started recently. No software were installed apart from windows critical updates.

    I have Windows Defender, Spy Bot Search and Destroy, Spywareblaster, Ad-Aware se Personal, Crap Cleaner and Avg 7.1.375. They all are updated and checked.

    Dunedin from XP Forum tried to help me tremendously hard for me but no vail. So I am over here.


    Adware Alert found below but ubless I pay it will not remove them.



    Downloaded SpySweeper, run it and found below. But unless you buy it it will not remove them



    I tried Panda (please see below)It will not remove anything unless you buy it.

    PestPetrol only found "limewire" and "Adware.sqwire". This program will not remove anything either unless it is purchased.


    I downloaded, updated Ewido and did a full scan.
    Here is the full result.
