    Angry Whats using up the CPU’s resources

    A friend brought a computer over, he wanted me to show him how to put in the extra ram he bought. He said the computer was running slow, and was told more ram would speed it up. ( he only had 1gig so we put in another two )After we installed the ram we fired up the computer only to find that it was taking forever to load even with the extra ram. Even after it finished loading there was continuous hard drive activity so I did a complete virus scan and found nothing, I even hooked the drive up to my computer scaned it that way and still nothing. So then I went to Software Explorer in Windows Defender and removed all unnecessary startup programs. That greatly sped up Windows Vista’s loading time but there was still a lot of hard drive activity and CPU usage. So I went to Resource Monitor to see what was going on, and there I found two processes that were using the CPU’s resources the most, and they where
    Image Discription
    Svchost.exe (netsvcs) Host process for Windows Service
    Svchost.exe (LocalSystemNetworkRestricted) Host process for Windows Service

    After about 10 or 15 minutes and a lot hard drive and CPU usage things settle down and the computer begins to behave normally. I know it’s not the antivirus program because I have set it to scan early in the morning. Can some one give me a hand here and get this computer under control.
    Oh by the way the OS is Vista SP 1.

    I would say that your AV has missed something... check it with Malwarebytes antimalware AND spybot search and destroy.

    In the meanwhile, post a hijackthis (v.2.02) log here.

    If you disable the network card(s) so that there is no internet connection or connection to the router, does the computer boot faster?

    That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.

    Make sure the removal action is to delete, not just to quarantine. When you have done with MalwareBytes, get Spybot Search and Destroy from Safer-Networking and run that as well. It will probably find a few more entries...

    Trojan.vundo is a concern... difficult to kill sometimes.
