I recommend that you scan your system for spyware and adware. If you don't have SpyBot or Adaware installed then I would recommend that you download them and install them and scan your PC to remove anything they might find:

SpyBot = http://beam.to/spybotsd
Adaware = http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

In addition it be a good idea to do an online virus scan:

HouseCall = http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda = http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/

seems weird that msiexec.exe is taking up so much CPU time, and is listed twice. Here's the process info

Process File: msiexec or msiexec.exe
Process Name: Windows Installer Component
Description: Windows Installer Component that is used to install new programs that use Windows Installer package files (MSI).

Unless you were installing a program when that screenshot was taken, i'd say you have a virus or spyware that is masking itself under a valid filename, or have a major problem with your OS.
