Try shutting off your computer for 30 seconds. If on XP, task manager look at processes tab then look at CPU look for the highest number (not System Idle Process). Other than that Virus scanner, trojan scanner, spyware scanner. Hope that helps.

check the number of applications running in the background in windows the number of icons in the bottom right corner is a good indication the more of these running the more cpu time is being used
