My computer is beyond slow..?

i scanned my computer with adaware se. pc doctor. spybot s%26d, stinger, etrust antivirus (%26 online norton scan), crap clean, and also a registry fix program called winaso 2.8.

fixed alot of registry errors, removed tons of malware, but no viruses came up. uninstalled alot of software and used msconfig to fix the startup..but my computer is still slow (hp dv500 notebook). i ran some benchmarks but still slow..dont know what else to do?, free memory is around 150mb out of 512

it stays at about 95%-100% usage when i bring up the windows task manager?

any idea why..

thanks for the help

Knowing the names of the processes hogging your CPU time would be of great help.

It may be that a few of your 6 antivirus/antispyware programs are getting into a conflict somewhere. Just disable random firewalls and scanners until you figure out which ones are causing the problem.

If all else fails, use System Restore to go back to a date before this lag problem appeared.
look at your processes in the task manager...look for something sucking cpu usage...or you might want to upgrade ram..or do a disk defragment...or disk celanup...(most of those free clean up programs usually just slow your computer down)
Is it svchost.exe causing it because if it is try disabling windows automatic updates. A friend had that type of issue. If that isn't it then refformatt and reinstall windows if you can.
