Svchost & 100% CPU

I am hoping that I am posting this in the correct place if not please accept my apologies as I am a bit confused after having read tons and tons of posts ( and of course following the directions to the letter).

About a month ago I began noticing the my Acer Aspire 5050 was running very slowly. I have 1024 M of memeory so I knew it was not that but I had uninstalled Vista wiped the hard drive clean and installed Windows XP and thought perhaps I installed a wrong driver or had a program that didn't install properly. After checking all of this out it looked like when I didn't launch Earthlink's Task Panel but just went onto the web through IE7 things were OK.

That method worked for about 3 weeks and then things got really quirky. After a reboot I would lose my sound driver, I couldn't launch the web from links within e-mails. IE7 wouldn't launch from either the shortcut on my desk or from the start menu. I too found that if I did the ole Ctrl Alt Delete got to the Task Manager and found the correct svchost.exe and killed the process I would be ok but it seemed to me that this was a problem that should be resolved and I shouldn't use this work around forever.

I turned to you folks at MajorGeeks because I realize that you are the best in providing step by step instructions.

I followed all of the steps in the thread Read & Run Me First. I did the Basic Computer Clean up even though I generally runs both CCleaner and multiple Spyware Removers. Nothing was found. I checked that I had only one firewall and anti-virus (both from AVG)
Next I moved on to 1: House Cleaning & Setup. Using the Malware list and the Rogue List, I checked Add/Remove Programs and found nothing unusual. I set up MsConfig to run in Normal Mode and did a reboot.
I don't run Norton so didn't need to do these steps but even so I ran a search for any folders or files named quarantine. Ran CCleaner. Already had folders set to see hidden folders.

Then I ran through the Windows XP Cleaning Procedure. Although my sound driver is not disappearing at each reboot and I am no longer having IE7 difficulties and I can access web links in my e-mail I still have Svchost process that rans at 100% after I re-boot. I have attached my logs as suggested and the only thing I can so that seemed weird when I ran MGTools was I got a message that said "Hitting any key will close MSGTool" and then a line below that it said "Hit any key to continue". I ran the tool twice the first time I hit a key and poof the tool closed up. The second time I left the computer for about 10 minutes and the tools was still displaying these messages so I figured that it was done.

Thanks Brenda
