For the past 3 days, my laptop has been running super slow. The CPU usage is constantly at or over %90. Ive scanned my entire computer at least 10 times for viruses/spyware with Norton and Spysweeper, but nothing has came up. Its gotten to the point where its not tolerable. Anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong or how I could go about resolving the problem? Im trying here, and if it still dosent fix it...Im gonna be forced just to take it into geeksquad or some **** like that.

Yea, I forgot to mention that part, thats whats confusing. When I open it up, theres no program really taking a huge amount. Ill open it with firefox as my only program opened, and it will be taking up the memory it did before it started acting this way. So when I look at the processes, theres nothing out of the norm.
