Xbox?
I need some help with my pc.

It is running really slow. I have discovered that disk usage is the problem not memory or cpu usage. The problem is it won't say what is using it.

I have 4 possible suspects based on when it spikes and the displayed data usage.

1. Google Chrome.
2. Service host local system
3. Antimalware executional. (This appears to be a windows process and gives me the instability warning if I try and close it.)
4. Avast anti virus. I can't seem to get it off my pc either.

System Specs?
Memory Leak?
 
I would suspect it is the anti malware anti virus combo you got running

Go to Services.msc and disable the anti virus and anti malware services for windows

Service Host Which i assume is svchost.exe is a known pain in the ass.
In windows 7 it use to go to 1.2GB of memory useage and take 100% of the CPU core until microstupid released an update to patch it

Yup, that's the issue with it (avast). You'll have to do some digging on it, as clueless me has almost nill for memory on it.
