My other HD died so I installed another with win 7.  I noticed it was all of a sudden on my system with it not letting me do updates and installing a run command icon.  Runs sluggish at best and eats a lot of resources.  Like it's taken over my computer.  Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

I ran Malware and it found nothing.  I saw an error message once but forgot to write it down.  Upon start up today I now have the run command at the start but windows update is like it was yesterday.  This HD hasn't been updated since 2014.  I stopped the process of svchost and how do I get it started again?

I ran both of your files and now windows update say it cannot currently check for updates as the service is not running.

Svchost is currently running.  I noticed that I have an application STK02N 2.3 that I'm unable to uninstall.

The uninstaller is asking if I want to skip over left over from uninstall?

Let's consider this resolved as I installed another HD and made this one a storage closet.  Besides I tried most of the fixes that didn't work for me.  Thank you for all your help.
