slow crash prone computer help

[slowslowdown]

I am having a problem with my computer running slowly and frequent crashes of internet explorer or safari. The performance programs show that my processor keeps running at 100 percent often when nothing else is obviously going on. I think a program or process is running and taking up resources without me being able to find it and eliminate it. Can someone here help me find what's going on? I've already gone through your information to help with a slow running computer.

[xixo_12]

Hi,
Let's proceed.

First,
CCleaner - Clear temp.

• Right click on CCleaner.exe > Run as Administrator to run the tool.
• On the Windows tab, under Internet Explorer, uncheck Cookies if you do not want them deleted.
  (If deleted, you will likely need to reenter your passwords at all sites where a cookie is used to recognize you when you visit).
• If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
• Click on the Options icon at the left side of the window, then click on Advanced. Untick Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours.
• Click on the Cleaner icon on the left side of the window, then click Run Cleaner to run the program.

Caution: It is not recommended that you use the Issues feature unless you are very familiar with the registry as it has been known to find legitimate items.
After CCleaner has completed its process, click Exit.

Next,
RSIT by random/random.
Please download from HERE and save to the desktop.

• Right click on RSIT.exe > Run as Administrator to run the tool.
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
• Once it finishes, two logs will open.
  
  • log.txt will be opened maximized
  • info.txt will be opened minimized
• Please post the contents of both logs in your next post.

***You can find manually the log at C:\rsit

Next,
GMER.
Please download from HERE and save to the desktop.

• Unzip/extract the file to its own folder.
• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
  There is a small chance this application may crash your computer so save any work you have open.
• Right click on Gmer.exe > Run as Administrator to start the program.
• Allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
• If it gives you a warning at program start about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a scan,click NO.
• Click on >>> symbol and choose on the Rootkit tab.
• Look at the right hand side (under Files) and uncheck all drives with the exception of your C drive.
• Make sure all other boxes on the right of the screen are checked, EXCEPT for "Show All".
• Click on the Scan and wait for the scan to finish.
  Note: Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while this scan completes. Also do not use your computer during the scan.
• When completed, click on the Copy button and right-click on your Desktop, choose "New" > Text document. Once the file is created, open it and right-click again and choose Paste or Ctrl+V. Save the file as gmer.txt and copy the information in your next reply.
• Note: If you have any problems, try running GMER in SAFE MODE"

Important! Please do not select the "Show all" checkbox during the scan..

Next,
Checklist.
Please post.

• Content of log.txt and info.txt (Find both in c:\rsit)
• Content of GMER.txt
