svchost.exe/Tane Question

I noticed something that strikes me as really odd. I was goofing on the web, when all of the sudden my computer started lagging hard. Deep investigation revealed that svchost.exe(LocalSystemNetworkRestricted) was bogging down my HDD with multiple, random instances af TANE related data reads. At this time all I have done was turn on the computer, clear emails, and poked around Youtube and FB. Never touched the TANE program yet. The real Q here is: Is this normal, or is there something hinky going on?

This oddity lasted 2ish minutes, then purged the Resource monitor of all tane related info. No record of TANE on the CPU, Internet, or RAM sections.

Ran TANE, all works as "normal".

Build 88364 (SP2 HF0)

I would suspect something hinky going on with an errant script or something worse.

I recommend running a malware scan using your antivirus as well as running something which is aimed at network junk such as Super AntiSpyware

Once you've run these, I recommend running SFC from an administrator-enabled command prompt.

The exact syntax for this is SFC/ SCANNOW . (Press enter after entering this in).

This is Windows' built-in O/S file-checking which will sort out any errors with the files. I have noticed after running this, things run better sometimes.

If there is something found by your antimalware scanner, I recommend running DISM, which is also run from an admin-enabled command prompt.

There are many options for this rather obtuse utility, which is used to restore files from Windows' O/S file repository, or sometimes from specific windows install archives and sources.

But these two are the ones you need to run:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Remember to press enter after running each one separately.
 
LONG POST DUE TO LOG DATA.

I have ran all recommended programs and here is what I got.

Malware had 1 bad file that I killed. However CMD prompt gives the following results:

I noticed something that strikes me as really odd. I was goofing on the web, when all of the sudden my computer started lagging hard. Deep investigation revealed that svchost.exe(LocalSystemNetworkRestricted) was bogging down my HDD with multiple, random instances af TANE related data reads.
svchost.exe is the application used by Windows services. It was likely doing some file cleanups - perhaps files not properly closed or updated into the system file index, but more likely something like purging recently-used file lists or the recycle bin, or updating application usage statistics. You will often see this sort of housework soon after startup.

Now I feel silly. I completely forgot OS's do this at times. Oh well live and relearn.
