Task manager shows a list of processes and how much cpu percentage each one is using, so you need to see which one(s) is/are the hog(s)

What the heck is that online armor component ? ?

P.S. You can also safely dis-able that AVG watchdog component...
Startup CPL is a great little app for managing startup apps...

    Can you please post a picture of the Task Manager with the 100% and expand it so we can see ALL the processors and programs running.

    AVG is eating up your CPU cycles.
    Get rid of it, using AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/download-tools

    Get one of these:
    - Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
    - Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html

    Why would you ask for this when Process Explorer shows twice as much info than Task Manger does ? ?
