Here they are. Ran 3 scans, pressed delete after each one. Last one yielded no results.

OP, did you wonder why the process was HIGH during use? [self-answering question]

svchost.exe is a main windows internal program, you will see it listed a lot and it is a critical component, not an issue, if it's running smoothly at all.

I know its supposed to run... but why does it spike during an antivirus scan, then STAY high? It wouldn't be a problem if it went back down after the scan, but it doesn't.
