A lot of the time if your computer is going slow then it's going to be your memory usage. If you only have 1GB of RAM and your running 1.1GB of RAM worth of applications, processes, or services, your computer is going to go really slow even if your CPU usage is little like in your situation.
Try cleaning up your temporary files and close out of some useless process such as Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, or other things that are running that you aren't using.

What happened if CPU reaches 100 percent in usage?

How can a computer virus affect your CPU?
Viruses affect your computer's CPU by consuming both CPU time and resources. A virus is just like any other program: it needs dedication from the CPU to properly execute. This can cause the CPU to slow down significantly if your computer is infested with viruses, since the computer cannot respond to each and every process in a timely manner. There is also such thing as a "CPU virus". These viruses infect and damage the actual hardware of a computer. Since it is damaging the hardware of a computer rather than the software, the restoration afterwards can be pricey and there can be little to do to stop the virus from destroying your computer.
