Sometimes a program crash can cause that. Just go to the process tab and end the process that is using 99% or 100% of the CPU but never terminate the "System Idle Process" which usually go to 99% when your system is idle (",)

The most likely cause is a worm,virus or trojan. Just try to scan the PC with a later antivirus software.
For the meantime, you could try ending some processes like spoolsv.exe which take up a lot of CPU usage. Do not terminate the explorer.exe

There are surrely only 2 reasons for your problem; your pc might have been infected, or some of you software is corrupted(most likely ur antivirus software)
Uninstal and Reinstall ur ANTIVIRUS it might solve the problem.
