Your computer is turned on isn't it. So it is doing something,besides your
anti-virus program runnung their many other services / applications running
in the backgroung that will use cpu time,yes this is normal.

Having some visable cpu use is normal. On a side note, on any new machine,
go directly to windowsupdate and make sure it's up to date on security
updates.
