SOLVED on page 3! svchost.exe (during boot, especially)
jraju:
Hi, I think that your computer is affected by autorun.inf , which hide as system svchost.exe. It was a old attack and yes, it only shows the process for a few seconds before vanishing.Usually this attack is spread through pen drives. The cure is , please download malware bytes and update and scan. It may fix. But this is a hidden process , and some times it is called new folder virus.
This is the tool i used to get rid of it

Please try this.
Normally malware bytes removes any malware and suspicious processes

Ran the Old MacDonald/Auto-Run and MalwareBytes. Re-booted. No found objects (except for Nirsoft - Ha!!)

Have you done combofix yet? There have been a TON of times where combofix was the only thing that found and cleaned anything. Just make sure to do a registry backup first :-)

According to info from "Super User" the soft/hard-ware from Broadcom is (more) than a bit buggy. Some users complain about the software using too much memory & resources.
