processor bogging down

[bob]

When startup and running on a notebook, the sound is
distorted, does not run smooth and the processor slows way
down, like it is getting bogged down and not able to run
correctly.

I restored to an earlier date, and that worked, but now
the problem is back and wont work anymore.

Any ideas?

Bob;
Hit Ctrl/Alt/Del.
What Processes are using the most?

Also try these:
Does this apply:
Some computers have issues with 811493 causing a slowdown, others do
not.
The issue seems to be a conflict with Windows Update 811493 and
antivirus applications.
Similar issues reported with McAfee, Norton, EZ Trust and possibly
others.
Uninstall 811493 from Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
If a warning comes up about other applications, ignore it.
Uninstalling through Add/Remove Programs is far better than System
Restore to remove an application or fix.
Microsoft has stated they are working on the cause, so hopefully we
will get some definitive solution real soon.

Otherwise:
Run an updated virus scan.
Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Run Defrag.
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
