On investigation 4 Seti Processes running from start up.

Using in excess of 20% CPU each what can I do?

Why are you surprised? (you are here since 1999)
Why do you think you need to do something? (it is normal)

Under normal use most computers only use less than 2% of its power. BOINC is designed to let projects use all available free CPU capability and is fairly good at getting out of the way when the user makes greater demand on the CPU. Most systems (laptop excepted) have no problem with running 24/7 at 100%.

If your system shows lag when other programs are running, there are a few tweaks available.

If you wish to optimize performance, protect your machine from the bad guys. Spyware and rootkits are terrible resource hogs. Upgrade the software you use to the current version. Your ISP, Comcast offers antivirus protection as a part of their subscription service.

You do not need Netscape if you use Comcast's cloud e-mail service. Comcast support can help you through this learning curve.

Your i5 central processing unit works like a four-processor computer all sharing a single piece of silicon chip space the size of a fingernail. It can do four things at the same time. However, it needs chip memory nicknamed "RAM" to help the operating system manage everything that is going on within its innards. For an i5 processor running Windows 7 64 bit OS, the sweet spot is 8GB of chip memory. If you use the 32 bit OS, you cannot use more than 4 GB of chip memory. This stuff is not on hard drives. They are memory sticks secured in the motherboard. Any hardware tech can do this for you quickly.

lol The information you see in BilBg's signature is that of your own.

At first I was wondering how you were able to tell who his ISP was and what browser he was using based upon the OP's very short first post. Then it dawned on me that you must be mistaking the information in BilBg's signature for that of the OP's information.
