CPU Usage
Just had a new motherboard fitted under warranty, everything seems fine except that during some applications the CPU usage is running at 98%, i can see the application doing this, is there anyway i can reduce this happening ?
P4 2.8Ghz.
It only happens every now & then, the fan i think starts to work harder also, well i think its the fan.
Thanks

What anti virus software do you use, what anti spyware software do you use & are they both up to date?
Download & run HijackThis: http://tinyurl.com/qc4an
Download & run process Explorer as recommended by ChefDude: http://tinyurl.com/74cdg
Before you run these, make sure that you do a full virus & spyware scan.

Norton? NORTON? 
OK, first of all uninstall Norton completely. Make sure it's all gone as sometimes you have to d/l a special program from Symantec to get rid of all the crap. Next, d/l & install a free 30 day trial of Nod32 from here:

Good grief... Norton!

If theres a program thats going to push your CPU past 90% for reason, it will be Noton
BTW spybot is no good on it's own...need Ewido and Adaware too (both free).
