virus possibly related to svchost.exe
My computer has been running significantly slow of late, barely responding if I try to open an app, even if no program windows are open. There are multiple instances of svchost.exe running in the task manager, using over 50% of the memory, and again, nothing is running in the foreground. It is an HP desktop running Windows 7, 64-bit home edition. I have run numerous scans with Norton 360, Norton Power Eraser, Malwarebytes, TDSKiller, and AdAware, but no luck finding anything out of the ordinary. If I boot in safe mode it at least responds so I can download updates and run current versions of those scans, but in normal mode it is barely functioning. I have tried system restore to bring it back to a few weeks ago, but that hasn't corrected anything either. Any suggestions?
