Err, have you tried looking in Task Manager to see what process is hogging the CPU?

Yes, there's no process taking more than 4% CPU (and that is Google Chrome), which is what got me worried.

Nothing extra running. I'll try malwarebytes. Thanks!

In Task Manager -> Processes tab there is a box at the bottom which says "Show processes from all users". Check it and you will see what takes up the CPU juice

Give this a shot - Windows doesn't always show it's own processes. It's easiest to sort the list into order by CPU usage by clicking the title of the column - that way, whatever is using the CPU resources up will be at one end of the list

Well this is kind of ironic as when I uninstalled Panda to install MalwareBytes the problems went away. Be damned Beta versions of software!
Malware Bytes did find two threats and removed them though, thanks for the indication!
