why, even when no programs are running is my cpu usage always more than 60%?

I had that problem with my old USB modem whenever I was online. Really annoying. And slow.Originally posted by Narcissus
athlon xp 1700+ geforce 4, 60gb hard disk, 512mb ram,
on the task manager the system idle process actually says around 94%, but when i got to the performance tab my cpu usage is between 66% and 100%, i have stopped most programs running, stopped most of the services, closed norton anti virus, zone alarm etc but it makes no difference, it only started doing it about a week ago, and ive not installed any new programs.
