Help! CPU jumps from 0 to 20% randomly

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I am in need of help. When I have no processes running my cpu usage jumps
from 0 to around 20% when i have all programs closed and by significantly
more when I have them closed. I need immediate help it is slowing my
programs and my online gaming. This was never a problem before I got the AIM
virus that I had to remove with VGU and by deleting all my temporary files
(maybe this caused the problem too). I think that whatever I did in removing
this virus took off inhibitors in my comp that kept popups from appearing
when on AIM and Internet Explorer in which I never had problems before except
when I first got my computer then someone told me how to fix it. Only I
don't remember.
