[SOLVED] CPU running at 100% (i5-4690k) when it definitely shouldn't be using 100% of all 4 cores @4.1GHz

As title stated. If chrome is only thing open, it's using 70%-90% of my CPU, if chrome + malware see screenshot, games still run decent maybe slightly less performance than they used to have but nothing major, sometimes computer feels sluggish. Is CPU failing? Virus-scan not showing anything, I've done all the standard disable search etc... I'm at a loss!

If that is during the antivirus scan, then it's normal. But just to make sure... It is genuine Malwarebytes, and not cracktivated or pirated etc. Unofficial anti-virus unlockers are very notorious for containing viruses, even more so than pirating games (not that it is safe to pirate games at all).
