Look at your task manager and see what program is using all of the CPUs time. If you are running a lot of programs that could be the culprit. Also, big applications like photoshop and graphically intense games can eat up the CPUs time. I would check the task manager and look at which programs are doing this.

I just had this problem. You are running too many programs at one time. Even all the stuff on your toolbar counts. I took all the extras off my toolbar and have not had the problem again. Also there is a number to call for tech support on www.microsoft.com if this doesn't help. Windows xp is the main one having this trouble.

Keep your anti-spyware solution up to date, and run a full scan every few days. I recommend the free SpyBot Search & Destroy that you can get from http://www.download.com
Good luck and Happy Computing!
