t2300 proc on e1505 constantly working 4-7%...

Hola,
 
I have a t2300 proc on my e1505. I noticed that the performance monitor was showing both cores constantly working between 4-7%.
 
I performed a full reinstall of the OS, and the perfmon is still showing the procs running between 4-7%.
 
Any ideas? Rule out Virus' and spyware please.
 
Cheers,
SI

Granted, however this problem started about 10 months after I purchased the laptop. The processor is still engaged when wireless and bluetooth devices are disabled. Plus 4-7% is hardly a small portion of the CPU. It should be running at 0% when the laptop isn't doing anything. 
 
Cheers,
SI

The drivers for wireless, bluetooth, caching, and other kernel functions always use a small portion of the CPU to perform repeating tasks such as monitoring the thermal conditions and maintaining a wireless link.

Sometimes many unneeded Processes and Services from installed  programs and updates are turned on.After owning a system a while these can be a major draw on your cpu.I run XP and have 21 processes running after boot and cpu usage stays between 0-2%.Check your startup programs and services and turn off any that are unneeded.Blackviper is a great site for learning what startups and services to turn off:
