CPU usage percent changes very often = 3500+

hi

my CPU usaage percent varies often, it goes up and down like from 40% to 2% to 0%. It touches 100% when using Adobe Audition for audio encoding. Is this common for:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1GB OCZ Performance series
Asus A8N SLi-Deluxe

Is this a problem?
any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

when audio encoding you want it to reach 100%. THats when it is working to its full ability. Going up and donw is not uncommon as long as you are doing soemthing(surfing etc) if you are not doing anything and it does this check what program it is using the processor as it may be spyware

ok it may be because i did not install any anti-virus/spyware software. I should have installed Norton Anti-virus, but it slows down the computer when using other large programs - like Photoshop, Premiere etc.

but i guess i have to install it.



thanks
