Hello, you are having a same prob that i had once, i did the same steps as u did scanning the disk 3 or 4 times, but i found some hidding viruses, which mcafee can't locate, when windows is running and once u delete them they re-generate again eat all the CPU, i will recommend u to back up all you data and refresh your system.
