Delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\start77.inf
C:\Documents and Settings\Alessandro\Documenti\exsplorer.lnk
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ied.inf
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\start.INF
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\start77.inf

Run a new HijackThis scan. Save the log file and post it here.

Create a uninstall list:
  • Open HiJackThis
  • Click on the configure button on the bottom right
  • Click on the tab "Misc Tools"
  • Click on the Box that says "Open Uninstall Manager"
  • Click on the button "Save list"
  • Copy and past the List from the notebook onto your post

A couple of months ago I upgraded from 512 to 1024mb of ram, and the usage often reached zero...now its always more than 2-3% with VERY high peaks.
That doesn't seem very high at all to me, unless I'm misinterpreting what you've written. Peaks are normal. Extended periods of max usage are not.

Have you installed any new programs recently?
