Jump to PostSystem Idle process is OK to take up 99-100% of CPU time. That's the process that takes up time when no one else is doing anything. As far as the others, you probably want to run some spyware and virus scans. If those turn up anything, feel free to post …
Also i checked now and it is the Explorer.exe, CSRSS.exe, scvhost.exe, and winlogon.exe that would uses up the CPU alternately. And sometimes if none of them are using it.. then its the System Idle Process......
