Is 2 A/V better than 1 or just for the really paranoid, because if one did its
job in the first place, 2 wouldn't be necessary. Perhaps an A/V scan is taking place from one of your 2 programs
If all systems were designed like this then everything in the world would take twice as long to get checked, because as we all know parallel processing is merely a myth unless 2 processors are available, so each program is polled instead. AV proggies love resources and hiding in the background, always running but ready to catch any similarity with its algorythm database [X2 in your case]
I'm also going to presume that even though other computers have been removed/gone faulty that you use a router to connect to the internet, even though yours was the only one connected, has this been proven/disconnected?
Have you checked your event log to check with co-incidental spike times?
Task manager, when it happens does a program or service suddenly hog resources, if so trace program/service backwards.
Can't really think of anythg else that would rob the processor of so much time to cause them spikes, if its none of them then it may be external.
