    My computer has its CPU constantly running at near 100% due to SVChost.exe. I'm still able to use the machine, but the machine is slow and the fan is constantly running at high speed (annoying). I've included a screen shot of the services running under this instance of SVChost.exe in case it helps.

    I have also gotten several messages from my ISP that it appears that there is a trojan running on my IP. I haven't been able to identify any trojan, but the warnings have gone away since I removed this machine from my home network.

    Please help!

    I'm not seeing any real malware issues in your logs. I just see some junk to clean up with Hitman Pro. Run it again and activate the free 30 trial license. Then have it cleanup all the Potential Unwanted Programs it reports. The reboot your PC. I don't expect this to change anything though. You could just be have issues with some valid program ( including your browser ) possibly related to attempting software updates....etc.
