Click the bottom-left 'show processes from all users', then organise by CPU usage. Send up the pic of that.

Also expand the first and last collumns, since a process chewing up 93% of CPU is actually shown on your original screenshot.
 
From what I can tell MS Security Essentials is using 41% CPU. I might could see what is using the other 59%, but the screen shot is sorted for memory usage instead of CPU usage.

Edit:
Wait I didn't see the second image. There is a WinDLLClient using 64% CPU usage. What is the description for this file?

And then the third image shows this file again with even more CPU usage, up to 87%. This is definitely the file using up all your CPU power. If you kill the process on this one file, does it start back again?
