System Idle Process slowing PC down???

Ok, I know what System Idle Process is, but a few days ago my PC started running very slow. While doing nothing. Winamp is slow, Firefox is slow, Yahoo Messenger is slow, everything is slow.

My OS is Windows XP Professional + SP2 & my configuration AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2 GB DDRAM. I use Kaspersky AntiVirus 7, Comodo Firewall Pro & SpyBot Search & Desroy as real time protection. I looked in Task manager and with Firefox, Winamp & Yahoo not even half of my memory is used, but my CPU Usage is at 80-100% (actually System Idle Process is at 80-100%) most of the time and everything runs slow or freezes. I have no unknown processes running in background and I have scanned my system with updated Kaspersky, Ad-Aware, SpyBot & McAfee (removed it after) and found nothing.

What could be the problem???
