My computer is running windows 8, and suddenly started running slowly. When I open the task manager, it tells me that the CPU is using 99% – sometimes the disk usages jumps up as well.
The strange thing is, when I use the task manager to find the application or process, which are taking all the CPU, it is just randomly selects an app that gets a high % of the CPU. If I close the app that takes a lot of CPU, it just gives another app a high amount of CPU usage.
But if I open almost anything on the computer, that specific application will be given a high CPU % – that counts for all apps, but not windows itself.
I been monitoring the CPU temperature, but it is below 40 Celsius.
I tried to scan the computer with McAfee, but it stalls at 51% at an element name “rootkit”
I’ve been researching a lot to solve the problem, but I can’t do it on my own :’(
Okay, so i got Ubuntu to work on the computer, and it's running fast and smoothly – the CPU usage is "okay"
I also removed "cryptinno" with mcafee, but the CPU usage is still high when using windows

It's fixed now, reinstalled windows, but the motherboard had been damaged after the CPU running high all time. I have had it replaced and now it's just fine :D
