Hi,

Absolutely, here are the links for the free AV and Firewall:

Please download AVG Free at Grisoft. Scroll down the page a bit for the install link. Install it and make sure to check for updates.

Please download ZoneAlarm Free

Let's see if we can narrow down what is using the svchost.exe to such a great extent:

Download Process Viewer Extract all files, then from within the folder, double click on procexp.exe to launch it.

Now, look for the svchost.exe in question and please let me know what the Description is.
