How can I identify processes with high CPU usage?

0

My CPU remains from 30-40 percent even when everything is closed. Is there a way to scan unknown/bad Windows 7 processes and apply a fix?

Norton 360 is already installed. I just installed Malwarebytes free version to scan.

Download and run Process Explorer to see which process is eating up the CPU – Ganesh R. – 2016-01-31T09:40:27.467

30-40% is pretty normal. I have a brand new blazing fast gaming laptop, and it's usually at 26%. It should just be the necessary system files consuming that. – z7r1k3 – 2016-02-02T03:02:26.847

Use the "Performance Monitor" from Windows 7.

Open your Startmenu and search for it.

Once started, use the green + and choose what you want to monitor.
