Looks like you have a Toshiba laptop with a lot of bloatware. Do a clean reformat (don't use system restore disk), and don't install any of those useless utilities. Consider using a more efficient Anti-Malware software.

i deleted all that toshiba crap/ unchecked it from startup.
My laptops 3x faster now.
But still lags when i play sc2 beta/ or any game that requires constant CPU

0 clue how to do this. my reformatting capabilities are capped at inserting a CD into the computer and letting it reformat

You probably don't have a clean windows disk to do a clean reformat. Reformatting with your Toshiba disk is useless because it's just going to reinstall all the bloatware again.

That column is for time that a process spends on the CPU, not a CPU utilization as a whole. Stop running programs that need to do...well anything if you don't want the kernel to run.
That means:
No IO (hard disks, keyboard/mouse, network, display)
No Scheduling processes (programs)
No Time (no clock, no programs that use time)
Final Destination.

Maybe you can get a clean windows iso from your uni if you're in college. Good life lesson on not sharing something as valuable as a laptop with irresponsible friends / siblings =P

System restore is a real nice application. Go to it and restore to a period of one month ago or whenever things were right. This will uninstall programs and updates but should not get rid of data. Did you change the location on any folders? My problem resulted from moving the My Documents folder. There are lots of hidden files put in there by applications and things go crazy when they cannot find them.
The next thing I would try would be to uninstall and physically remove your sound card. Did this fix it? Then if it does fix it just reinstall it like it was new and things should be great. Do you have a way to run a cable from your computer to the router? Then you could uninstall and physically remove the wireless card to see if that fixes it. Even if you cannot otherwise connect to the internet you could "disable" and then remove the wireless card and see if that fixes it. If it fixes it then go through the process of installing it like it is new. If it does not fix it then "enable" it and put it back in. But there is always the risk of not being able to reconnect unless you can first run an ethernet cable to to router. Do you have onboard graphics? Then you could uninstall the video card and remove it and see if that fixes it. nVidia does have archived drivers and going back to an old one may fix it.
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode? If the CPU usage is normal then it may be a background program.
System Restore is great. Try that first. After you go back in time then see if the CPU use is normal. If it is then check the accept on the system restore window. If it does not fix it then select the option to not revert to the past. Since this just backs out programs and not data, I have never had going back in time to cause any problems.
Completely unistalling hardware and reinstalling it can fix lots of problems and with automatic updates you can get back up to speed quickly.
My MIS guys at work never figure out what the problem is. They find that it is faster to just rip everything out and reinstall it all.
if anyone searches this thread this seems to be the solution. gonna buy a 10$ win 7 cd at my uni
