What is a CPU? Since I have installed the PLUS , my computer has been very slow or freezes..does this have anything to do with this? The CPU shows 48%..

i have had this problem since the beginning of the year too. ive been posing on bigblueball.com forums and noone can really answer it there. somebody else said theyre problem started the 11th of jan and mine was most likely tht time too. anyone know if there was any new downloads at that time to update msn. before that date everything was working perfectly fine then all of a suden just stopped.
     its not just msn live plus either its normal msn,msn live,Messenger Plus and msn live plus. aswell as windows media player when i try play movies....
in task manager these files are occupying aloit of system resources:
-"msnmsgr.exe"
-"windowstaskmanager.exe"
-"iexplorer.exe"
-"explorer.exe"
-"systemidleprocess" however this is normally occupying alot but not interfering with any running speeds at all.
i dont have viruses and do check every week etc. nothin suspicious has been installed.

only other thing is that just once i got it to work and no 100% cpu when i uninstalled macromedia flash player and reinstalled it, only lasted until i rebooted tho then after tht i retried and dont work back to 100% cpu.
