Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Switched from AVG to Kaspersky, now cpu is 100%
I wanted a lightweight anti-virus, as my pc is old and I am trying to streamline it.
I read about and got a good general consenus that Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 is both a decent program and uses small amounts of resources (around 5mb, as opposed to AVG's 30mb+).

I bought the full version, had to regedit away any signs of AVG8 before I could install it, but did so. Installed fine. Ran fine the first time, updated well and so I went to bed.
This morning I got up and my cpu will not drop below 100%.

I've had a qucik look about and see that there should be two instances of avp.exe running, this was my first concern of course, but now I am stumped!

Here is my HJT report:
