    For the last week, every time I start my computer it is very slow. When I open the task manager, it tells me that I'm at "100% CPU usage".

    Yesterday, I decided to unistall Spyware Doctor, which I have been using the past few months. Right after the CPU usage decreased to 3%.

    Has anyone else had this problem or may have heard of this problem with Spyware Doctor?

    What process was using 100% of your CPU? If you are referring to System Idle Process then there is no problem because it is not a process. It is actually a measure of the free time your CPU has. If SpywareDoctor was using all of your CPU time, perhaps it was running a scan and you just need to wait for it to complete.
