What does your task manager say on the processes? That does not sound normal. Could have a trojan executing such as a spam zombie mail server?

Run an Ewido malware scan, and your virus scaning software. You may have to run some additional scans, AdAware SE and Spybot should help. Even if spyware isn't the source of your problem, having these programs on your computer and running them every once and a while is good practice.

Also look at your processes and see which one is using up the clock cycles. Often it's an "innocent" program.

Disable the indexing service - you don't need it.
