Taskmgr.exe gone mad
My Taskmgr.exe is using 40% to 60% of CPU and is running continuously. Now taking 20 secs to open internet instead of instant. Also if I click on a link in an e mail it is not opening Internet Explorer for me.
I ran full scan with Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 anf it found a Trojan (Joke something or other) and deleted it. Machine still exhibits same behavoir. I have also run two registry scans and all OK.
Machine is laptop Win XP home , 1GB Ram , 160HDD been kept clean by Kaspersky for 3 years. Also Kaspersky is downloading crazy amounts. 173.4 MB yesterday and 122MB today. Like the update program is not switching off correctly?

It's driving me mad. Any help/advise most wecome please.

TIA Ron
