Hello, I have been having trouble with extremely high CPU usage from a svchost.exe file located in my SysWOW64 folder. I installed FRST and ran it, and received these two files. I am in need of a fixlist.txt that I can run so that this issue can be solved. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you for your assistance with these problems I have been having. I followed your instructions and included the scan log after a multitude of threats were found. I had no idea that my Malwarebytes software was out of date, so who knows how that has affected the protection on my computer. Included is the scan log so we can move further. Thanks in advance.

In safe mode the computer is working fine. However, in a normal boot my CPU usage is still peaking at 100%, running at around 75% on average. Nearly all of this usage is caused by a svchost..exe application running in my SysWOW64 folder. I have seen some other people with this problem and it seems that after using FRST and a fixlist it was resolved. Could this be the case with me as well?

Unfortunately whenver I try to open FRST64 in normal mode it immediately shuts down, leading me to believe that there is something overriding my computer and denying programs that try to fix it. However, I led instructions shown in this link
Can't launch MB or FRST...how to get started?
which allowed me to run the program from a flash drive. After running it I got this report, which I think is what you are looking for.

Download attached fixlist.txt and save it to your USB flashdrive as fixlist.txt
>> Boot into Recovery Environment
Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
>> Exit out of Recovery Environment and post me the log please.
Try to boot Windows normally...

- Press the Fix button once and wait.
- FRST will process fixlist.txt
- When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt on your USB flashdrive.
