What is your system make and model?What is your XP Version and Service Pack?Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.No matter what you are using for malware detection and removal, do this:Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/They can be uninstalled later if desired.After a reboot, if you still see an issue with one of your svchost processes, do this:Download Process Explorer so you can see what is "really" running, especially behind those multiple svchosts you see running in Task Manager. You'll like PE when you get the hang of it. PE is the Windows Task manager on steroids. PE installs nothing, and only runs on demand. It looks a little intimidating at first, but you will start to like the way it works.Download Process Explorer from here and then run it:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspxExpand the columns, make the screen bigger, etc. so you can see the most information as in the window.The CPU column is usually the most interesting to get started with performance issues - who is using the most? It is okay and normal to have multiple svchost processes running, but there could be a problem behind any one of them. You would like the most CPU to be associated with System Idle Process If you see spikes (or not) double click the graph in the top left corner to display the usage graph. Hover the mouse over any spikes to see what causes them.This will help once you get PE running, read this article and will make you smarter than the average bear:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.htmlThen with some Googling, you can look at each thing running in PE and behind your svchost processes and see what it is and decide if your configuration needs it or not. No running process should defy reasonable explanation.Don't guess what the problem might be - figure it out and fix it. I need YOUR votes and points for helpful replies and Propose as Answers. I am saving up for a pony!
