My computer is running very slow. I have run scans with various anti-virus/malware programs but I still have very slow performance as my CPU in task manager is running from 90%-99%.
Any suggestions as to what could be the reason?

How to know that if you don't say anything about computer in question ? It depends a lot if not all of HW used.

I do not know what is unnecessary at startup. Buy my CPU runs in the high 90's and now I have only 2 tabs open. I look at Task Manager and see all the processes running but even then I do not know which ones are necessary or not.

I am currently looking at task manager and even though only two tabs open in IE, the CPU usage ranges from 86% to 52%. Why would IE use so much of the CPU? I hope that someone can help.

Ok I rebooted my computer and did not open any browsers and my computer is still running at times at 99%. Looking at the task manager I see that Windows Modules Installer Wor... is running at 50% of the CPU. Just adding more information.

It's a CPU limitation rather than Windows programs. AMD is only scoring at around 622 passmark scores which is worse than a Pentium D CPU that was released a decade ago. Cleaning install windows might get you a snappier performance, but any load will cause the CPU usage to go really high.

Well it did not do this for about six months or so, I thought that something must have occurred, to slow the computer down so much.
