Hi. My computer has been running really slow lately, and
when I looked in the Task Manager I found a process
called System with user name SYSTEM, that continuously
uses 65% - 90% of the CPU. I have no idea what it is, or
how to make it more efficient. If anyone knows how to
fix it, I would really appreciate some help. Thanks you
very much.

I would download adaware or spybot and do a full scan of
your system. Spyware can cause severe performance issues.
The above are free programs available from download.com
