Alright going to try Malwarebytes now
Oh and I just want to say thank you to everyone who is trying to help me. It means a lot to find people on the internet that actually care for other people's well being.
We have great Team Member base here at SF that work really well together to get a problem solved
I have noticed this in the short time that I have been here
Hi Everett -
Having 25 Startups freeloading on RAM/CPU, Startup with most spying on you is a Worst Practice for Win7. I would immediately establish a Clean Boot then work through the other Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.
It's apparent you still have the corrupt Toshiba factory preinstall so I'd also strongly consider doing what most tech enthusiasts do to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 without the huge load of bloatware and duplicate utilities. This unleashes Win7's native instantaneous state.
At the minimum I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
Feel free to ask back any questions to understand the options better, and let us know how Clean Boot affects the problem.
Alright so I have run all of these programs but my CPU/RAM usage is still way higher than normal. Any other advice?
What programs have you run exactly?
Did you establish a Clean Boot which is probably most important to start?
Click on run and type "resmon"... which brings up Resource monitor... Post a snapshot here of what you see is the highest Memory/RAM usage.
It appears to be svchost.exe. And I have run Malwarebytes and Super anti-spyware as programs.
