        Norton will plague you forever, do a clean install of your OS plus AVG, Spybot with resident teatimer & a firewall.

          Get rid of Norton and other antivirus programs until you are left with AVG only for antivirus.
          Have one antispyware program.
          Install a firewall, Sygate is good.
          I'd remove all the viewpoint junk too.

          Try Task Manager (Ctl+Alt+Del) to see what processes are running that could be using your processor power.


          What processes should i be looking for?

          What is svchost.exe and why does the amount of memory it is using keep increasing?

          but the one svchost.exe keeps on taking up more and more memory--but no processor time.

          google just showed me what the svchost.exe was. it didn't tell me why it is eating the memory.

          It isn't eating cpu time, just memory.  and i saw nothing about processes to be alert for.
