After trying to scan with Bitdefender I'm sure enough that it is hardware related.
Thank you for all you help, but looks like I'm going to have to take this PC to a mechanic.

Thanks again and...

I haven't tried uninstalling antiviruses yet- I will a little later.

But I found a old bootable antivirus disc and tried to run it-
It is BitDefender Knoppix (Linux based)
and again It...

I ran 2 of those rkill programms (antiviruses disabled and unluged internet cable), seemed to work, but combofix still gets stuck.

On monday I'll uninstall avast and immunet and will try again.
...

can rkill run while antiviruses are enabled?

did everything as was said in the instructions,
but got same message as in post #41

I booted into safe mode with networking by using msconfig and tried to run combo-fix file,
but it got stuck on loading (even earlier than in normal mode).

same again, but this time It didn't alarm me about any anti-viruses running.

still got stuck on the same line:

p.s. what do you think about this?

is it worth scanning?

I tried to run combofix, but shut it down because several odd things occurred-
1) programms pev.exe, PEV.cfxxe, iexplore.exe crashed down several times (microsoft error report messages appeared)
2)...

I am a little worried about running combofix, so just in case can I get some information about this restore boot mode?

again in found nothing...
I have no idea where my CPU percentage is despairing,
could this be the fault of a partial hardware failure?

The two programms aren't both antivirus programms- Immunet Protect is a additional type of program more like an antispyware, from all the articles I've read. it should not interfere with avast.

I remembered that when I had spybot s&d installed on this pc, it had something to do with modifying the hosts file. But spybot s&d is uninstalled for a while now.
