Vista Windows Back-Up 100% Disk Utilization

I have an HP intel Core 2 Quad Vista Home Premium 64 Pavillion with 4GB
RAM & 4GB Ready Boost. Every week or so the computer runs dog slow for
hours. The disk is pegged at 100% utilization. I have had this issue
since I purchased the HP Pavillion m9250f in June 2008. Worked with both
HP & Microsoft, they claim the system is nomral

Vista decides to do some type of windows back-up,tons of svchost.exe
files scanned as IO Priority in Background, as I watch them from the
Vista Reliabaility & Performance Monitor (100% Disk Utilization)

I do my own application file back-ups with no problems. This backup or
scanning that slows my computer is some type of function in Vista and I
can not start it or stop, According to Microsoft it is a normal function
in Vista.

But Why does it make my system crawl for hours until it is complete, I
do not have much data on my hard drive, I have taken off all my music
and jpg files.

Does anyone know how to at least schedule the Vista Windows System
File Back-Up, this way I can run it over night and not have to be at the
mercy of Vista when it decides to run it's System File back-up

Thank you
Banjo 200

Is it a scheduled backup or do you have a virus scanner set to check the
entire system?
