Can anyone tell me what the heck WToolsA.exe and
WToolsS.exe are. They are eating up so much cpu when the
computer is at idel, it causes computer to stop
responding. I have run my virus detection and spyware also
and nothing was found. Any help on how to find out wht
these do are are they important , would be most helpfull.

These are Trojans. Use Spybot to remove them
