I don't know what I did but all of a sudden my computer started to lag. because my cpu would be at 100 or 99 % for no reason. when I end the process "SBAMSvc.exe" the problem went away but the ability to open windows from my taskbar was also gone because this is a system process which is weird i haven't download anything "fishy". it mainly goes up by me opening something or loading something new.
 
SBAMSvc belongs to vipre antivirus do you have that installed? Also check to make sure you do not have multiple Anti Virus programs installed as they may end up fighting eachother and causing issues like the above issue.
 


I do have Vipre but when I close it the problem is still there. I guess it's not that. it happens when I do anything I tried playing battle field 4 but it was lagging very badly with my cpu at 100%. Now I know what you thinking that I have a bad cpu for that game but before you say its my cpu or my gpu look at what I have 4820k 3.7ghz with a geforce gtx 780 16 gigs ram. It's not my cpu being to hot because it stays around 38 and 43 degrees Celsius.
 
A few things you could look at. You could try looking at the Resource Manager in windows and see if it can tell you a bit more about what that process is doing. Maybe it is using the disk on a particular file. You could also download process explorer and run it as admin and see a more detailed view of your cpu usage along with being able to see what dll files are being accessed in the properties of the processes (right click on a process and click properties). You could also download and run the free version of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and have it scan for malware it is usually good at catching things normal AV sometimes don't catch.
