Yes, CPU usage is high, abnormal.
It may be some hardware issue but let's check one more thing.

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista/7), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista/7).
Windows 8/8.1 users. Press Windows logo key
aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_91.jpg
and start typing the following:
msconfig
Press Enter.

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all
IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Post fresh Process Explorer log.

This looks much better with CPU usage at 10% but with only MS stuff running it should be close to zero.

In any case go back to "msconfig" and start re-enabling startups and services you just disabled but only one by one restarting computer each time until you see what would cause CPU higher usage.
You may want to keep running Process Explorer and look at this value:
System Idle Process 90.10 0 K 24 K 0
90.10(%) in the above line is CPU NOT used, meaning the lower the number the higher CPU usage is.
In the above example CPU usage is 100-90.10=9.90%
 
Have tried a few things and I'm unable to get my antivirus (Vipre) to start back up....processor use is quite low while it is not running...could this possibly have been the culprit? What alternative antivirus would you recommend?
 
I've seen corrupted AV programs doing this.
Uninstall Vipre, re-enable all other stuff in "msconfig" and see if CPU usage still stays low.
If so, first try to reinstall Vipre.
If still same issue...

Install ONE of these:

- free Microsoft Security Essentials: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/products/security-essentials
Note for Windows 8 users: Microsoft Security Essentials comes preinstalled and renamed as Windows Defender.
You can keep it or you have to disable it before installing another AV program. How to...
