no. How much RAM do you have? what core do you have? what OS are you using?

It is way too high. An idle CPU should be <15%. Have you enabled hyperthreading? Are you sure you werent running anything in the background?
(btw no it is not safe to end it.)
Are you sure the cpu was really using that much? It could be that you have to many programs that startup with the computer.

Delete winlogon.exe and you won't be logging on to your system.

Go to start > Run > type services.msc and then press enter > disable any undeeded services (Note you can't disable system services here, so don't worry).

Do you have ad-aware 2007 installed?

I have noticed this happen quite often. A restart always stops it.

I guess there are still bugs in the Windoze OS that causes these system programs to lock up occasionally.
