I added the jrt log

Mbam came up clean and then i ran combofix also ,i attatched the log

You should run Process Explorer to determine which program it is taxing that particular svchost process. Depending on what program is the culprit will determine which path you take to correct the issue.

now I don,t think its malware because after reviewing logs

your system looks clean

Okay ill givem a try tomorrow after i wake up and let you guys know what i come up with after using the methods

I tried using process explorer but the issue isnt there since I ran combo fix and it seemed to help with the problem because the high usage is gone. you guys can close this if you like
