Hi
I've been having this problem for a while now; the amount of cpu usage which is shown on the CPU Meter gadget is almost always above 70% which makes my laptop run incredibly slow.
Now i decided to close unuseful applications running in background with task manager but that didn't really help though' I noticed that a process called svchost.exe is eating most of my memory and it has up to 12 copies of itself also using a huge amount of memory. in Resource Monitor they are shown with LocalSys.. and Network... and other texts written in Parenthesis.
My question is; is this normal or is it some kind of virus that the computer is infected with?
Also how do I make my laptop run faster and smoother? I tried to uninstall as many unused programs as I could but it's still not any faster.
Thanks
