[Closed] Malware or Virus issue

Looking good, how are things running now?

Things are running beautiful with the exception of my system not able to run Windows Update and the "svchost.exe" still using up most of my memory. Do you think that might be a worm or something related to Windows Update that is causing the issue?

svchost.exe <– This will use some memory and the more programs you have open the more it will use.
