CPU usage_slow performance

My Vaio laptop has become very slow recently. In task manager, all processes show CPU usage as 1% or 0% but in performance the CPU usage is about 30%. What could be the problem? Could it be that there is hidden virus running? Is there any way to check it?

Thanks

I think you can have a better idea of what is your problem by opening Windows Task Manager:

  • Right-click the taskbar, and then click Start Task Manager.

  • Go to the process tab and order by memory usage to see which takes the most CPU & Memory usage.

You can kill some unessessary process and see if it solves the problem.

Hope it helps.

Really could be many things. First check your memory usage. If thats rather high, end some of your unused processes to free up some memory. It could also be a virus. I personally enjoy AVG Free or spybot S&D If you also know a bit about what processes are normal on the system you use, you might be able to find a virus process by writting strange the process name into google. Theres always a lot of info on them on google. Gotta love it

Lots of spyware and unneeded processes may do this. get cCleaner and check all running processes, with CTRL+TAB+ESC , you may be able to safely deactivate many harmless hogs( bluetooth, skype, AIM etc). Avast, Malwarebytes, AVG are all pretty good too.
