High CPU use

[Interm3]

I noticed both the CPU & RAM started running 2-5x's higher than average. It isn't affecting performance but I can't find the reason. I found one program (Trustire by IBM) that while uninstalling, it did give a reason option of this but after restarting after it's uninstall, didn't solve the problem. Haven't tried defragment, restore point or indexing, but I've tried almost everything else. There's no apparent reason. I'd like to fix it.

Hit ctrl-alt-delete and check your process to see whats running. Run antivirus and malware checking.
