Every once and while, my computer will get very slow. When I go to Windows Task Manager, it usually shows the CPU Usage chart as using 100% of the CPU. Sometimes the Processes tab shows a program using close to 100% of the CPU (frequently: iexplorer.exe, NettGain1200_C.exe, and svchost.exe). Then I just end the program controlling that process in the Application tab. But sometimes I don't see anything unusual in the Processor tab. In this case, I usually just log off or restart the computer entirely.
This has been happening every once in a while for a few years now, but eversince I got the Internet (which uses a USB connection to my cell phone) a few months ago, it has been happening more often. It used to be a few times a year; now it's a few times a month.
What's causing this, and how do I remedy it or stop it from happening again?
