processor load at 100% at all times

Hi, I've recently noticed that the processor load is always at 100%... I don't think this is good. I've run multiple spyware tests, nothing found. I also did a test on pcpitstop and it shows taht the processor is not performing very well. Does this have anything to do with programs running or what?

here is the screenshot of the task manager:

Are you running a distributed client such as Folding at Home or SETI? Those will use free processor cycles effectively running your processor at 100% all the time.

I noticed you have 67 and 68 processes running, and that is not good. Take a look at what is hogging the cpu under the processes tab.

wow, thanks. I run the prime number finder. Quit it and it dropped instantly. Didn't think it was that obvious. Thanks again.
