    RAM is always full, no viruses or spyware?

    So I'm no computer expert, but my RAM is almost always full and also my cpu tends to run at 100% with no programs running. I ran SpyBot, I use ZoneAlarm firewall and antivirus, no threat returned, ran chkdsk on both partitions, defragged hard drive and registry.

    Don't know where to go from here... Can anyone help?

    BTW its an ASUS eee pc 1000he, Intel Atom N280, 2GB RAM, 160 GB HDD

    It is a virus issue. Run Task Manager and go in Process. Click on Mem Usage column on top. Go below and see which applications is eating too much your ram. You can right click on that and choose end process also. Remove unnecessary program from your system. The full cpu consumption is only due to virus and that can be fixed by formatting and re-installing windows back again.

    I checked out those software that you mentioned and there are several options that are much better. I recommend AVG antivirus. It's free, easy to use, decent GUI, and does the job.

    As for the RAM, check out this link. It worked fine for me
