I have this too. Fixed.
I had a virtual box Host-only Network which I disabled about the time the problem first occurred. When I enabled the VirtualBox Host-Only Network device the svchost handles reduced from 7500 to 80. The adapter has no network access anyway.
I have removed all version of IE from my system, yet the problem still occurs, so I don't believe it to be related to IE.
Just FYI, you can't remove Internet Explorer, because it's an integral part of the operating system. You can remove all the updates and remove access to the browser, but you can't get rid of it altogether. So you still can't say whether IE's involved in the problem or not.
Okay, what I meant was I've uninstalled Internet Explorer and updates from 'Programs and Features' and also turned off IE from within 'Windows features'.

I've already tried everything as well. The only thing left is a fresh install of Windows 7. Which I really don't want to do either. I keep hoping for some magical fix. But it doesn't look like there will be any solution any time soon. Though if a repair using the Windows 7 SP1 disc didn't fix it I'm worried the fresh install will be a waste of time too. But I wouldn't think any hardware is causing it.
