I have done those a few times.
Right now:
GFI Software Anti Malware Service using 7.6% (running Ad-Aware again)
DisplayLinkManager using 2.2% (DisplayLink Dock)
Nothing else above 2%
Under Performance, the CPU is jumping between 13% to 25%

See if any processes are using lots of CPU time. You can also click the "Performance" tab to see what the overall CPU usage % is.
