There is a chance of your system is affectedness by VIRUS infection. Better to install a fresh copy of OS and then some good anti virus software. My preference is Avast Free Antivirus.

launch task manager and sew which process is causing such high cpu usages. Post the process/service name.

Probably a virus or malware issue. Do a cleanup using an updated Antivirus.

Once i was also having the same problem its malware get Norman Malware cleaner.

screenshot of task manager with processes tab showing high cpu usage application please. As everyone above me states it might virus /malware issue

Scan your system with MalwareBytes Anti Malware in safe mode.

I've faced issue before not because of any malware but caused by vga driver(xp), nic drive(xp)r, windows update (XP) and once while installing some all in one web server app ( win8) ... so not always malware/malicious softwares are behind such abnormal behaviors.

nice to know you have solved the issue .. and which site grabber you are talking about ? provide a link of the app so this app can be avoided as there's many such apps.

There's no problem with the software. I used it on my college's pc running on C2D adn it ran perfectly fine.. I think OP's system was left ideal so the soft increased the cpu usage.

How in the hell does a software uses CPU usage if left on idle?

If you meant, maybe the OS started some process like defrag which usually is scheduled to run when PC is idle for a specifed period of time, then it I could have buy it!

He probably meant Site Grabber that's built into Internet Download Manager (IDM)

yes IDM site grabber

 

[topgear]

on my quad core it uses 35-50% cpu time .. so IDM site grabber is indeed one of the cpu intensive app.

^^ that must be a April fool's joke! Cause IDM can't possibly take 35-50% CPU! I have dual core APU, and two services of IDM together don't even take 1%!

 

[topgear]

nope, that's not a joke and I'm using IDM version 6.15 - just tested before making the post.

no. When one uses Site grabber it does use a lot of CPU power.
