Windows XP Home//Intel Celeron based system

Hi there, I am running a pc with Windows XP Home, Intel Celeron 320 D CPU,
512 Mb DDR. But the pc doesn't seem to be able to cope with running any
programs. It will run them but the CPU is always at 100% in the task manager.
I've sorted it out a little bit as it was only running for 5 mins but now
you can use it a lot longer. There is a lot of processes running and I think
they are unnecessary but would like to know the right way about removing
them. I've run all the adware and spyware removers and there was a little
bit of spyware on the system which I hope is gone now. Do you suggest I do a
screen dump of my running processes and start up processes so you guys can
have a look at this and give a bit more details advice? All your help will be
much appreciated. Thank you, Lee
