Ok so to start off, im running Windows 10. When I start up my computer, AVG detects some program in my temp folder called ap.exe, and asks me to delete it, which I do. Now I'm not completely certain if this is the issue, but it may very well be so. Im going to do a clean install anyways (its about time for one) and see whether or not that fixes it. Even if it doesnt, I would really like to know if anyone has ever seen this before and if anyone knows how to fix it without a clean install? Thanks. Im not sure what all info you want, so just ask if you need to see something. Here is a picture I took in the Resource Monitor of three of the eight cores doing what I've described in the title: https://gyazo.com/e62b79d35d989e191d156aecd7f76769 . In case you are wondering, every core is doing this.
Would also like to add that the computer does run very slow as a result, and the processes I view in the task manager do not add up, here is a picture of the processes: https://gyazo.com/be3844a7d441e5ce1d5464b86c3e9f2b
