Maybe give some free advice about: Computers? theymos answered Tuesday July 10 2007, 1:42 am: That is bad, the codec is probably malware. CPU usage is how many calculations your computer is performing. 98% means your computer is performing 98% of the maximum calculations it can perform at once. If one program uses all of your CPU power, it makes your computer slower and uses more electricity. As I said in your other question, uninstall it and install k-lite full codec pack.
