I'm having a difficult time finding something that would be causing this problem. Just as a precaution, I'd like to you run MSCONFIG again and remove the checkmarks beside the two blank entries.
In addition, let's try running CCleaner. This program is similar to ATF Cleaner and will also check your registry for any errors. Please download it (for free!) here, run it and click on Issues, and then the Scan for Issues button. Fix any problems it finds.

Good to hear that the CPU usage is lowering! Yes, let's try running the "Cleaner" feature of CCleaner.
- Run CCleaner.
- Make sure the Cleaner option is selected
- Click Run Cleanerto start.
Also, the following programs in the startup section of MSCONFIG are optional. They're NOT bad, but aren't essential either. Some of them may be responsible for taxing some resources. Remove the checkmarks from these entries to remove them (don't remove the checkmarks next to any program you actually WANT to run at startup!)

Afterwards, post back and let me know how your computer is running.

Sorry for the delay, I've been ill.
Your log looks totally clean and I'm having a difficult time coming up with what might be wrong with it. May I ask if you have Windows' Automatic Updates feature turned on? That might provide some insight as to what's going on.

Sorry again for the delay in posting.
Let's try running ComboFix on your machine.
1. Please download ComboFix to your desktop.
2. Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
3. When it's finished, ComboFix will produce a log. Post that log in your next reply.
IMPORTANT
Do not click ComboFix's window While it's running! Doing so may lock it up!
Post the combofix log AND a new HijackThis log in your next post. Thanks!

Please go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the following file for analysis:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ini.bat
Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.
If Jotti is too busy you can try these.

Also, can you tell me anything about these three folders?

Ok, those directories are apparently left over after a service pack or hotfix installation and can be deleted. However, you'll have to delete them from Safe Mode:
Please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. Here's how:
- Click Start and then Turn Off Computer.
- Click Restart
- While the computer is restarting, hit the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly
- If done correctly, you'll get text menu. Select Safe Mode.
Once the computer boots into Safe Mode, navigate to and delete the following files and folders:
C:\8a996cd095448957f27e65
C:\adb00279175f37ff59bd81cf2912
C:\d3311df1c426ef9f6a29ffee
Also, how often do you use PaperPort from ScanSoft? There is a program associated with that software that *might* be the cause of your CPU spikes. If (and only if) you are willing, let's disable it from Startup and see if that alleviates the problem:
Click Start > Run.
Type in MSCONFIG.
Click on the Startup tab.
Remove checkmarks from the following entries:
PaperPort PTD
IndexSearch
Afterwards, reboot your computer into Normal mode and post a new HJT log. Also, please report on how your computer is running at the moment.
Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I deleted those folders and two more with the same stuff. I also unchecked the two items you recommended on the MSCONFIG program.
Question:
After changing the Startup configuration and rebooting, Windows shows three options for Startup. I clicked Cancel on that window to skip the option shown as it indicated Startup with the minimum options. Should I have checked OK?
I checked and I still have the spike every 10 secs.
