IdleBuddy is malicious software and should be deleted as soon as possible, as it is secretly mining cryptocurrency on your machine (that's why your CPU jumps up to 90%).
To remove Idle Buddy, you will have first to terminate the process from the Task Manager. For that, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, and look for ibservice.exe entry (or anything that is related to IdleBuddy). Right-click on the process and select End Task. Then you should go to the Control Panel and uninstall the application. For more details, please follow this link: https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-idle-buddy-virus.html.
Next, you should check your browsers for suspicious add-ons or toolbars and get rid of them. Alternatively, you can reset each of the installed browsers.
Finally, you should scan your device with reputable anti-malware software to make sure all the malicious entries are eliminated.
