SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS ??? HELP!!

Our computer at the firestation keeps locking up- showing CPU usage of 97-99% by the "system idle process"- and sometimes "dump.exe" is using a great amount of cpu also- would like to end both of these processes to see if it would help our lock-ups/knock off line problem. ANY SUGGESTIONS ? THANKS!!!-

    The idle process is exactly that - idle. If the system is using 97% of the processor on the Idle process, the system is 97% idle, or 3% used.

    As to the dump issue, you might want to check for spyware using using Ad-Aware.
