wuauclt.exe runs every day for approx 1 hour!
Once everyday the Windows update process wuauclt.exe runs for almost 40 mins during which time the system is completely unresponsive. Is this normal? I'm running Windows XP service pack 3 and I've got Norton AntiVirus installed.I've just done a complete search for "wuauclt.exe" on my system. I found four candidates. Here are their sizes and message digests:C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\WUAUCLT.EXE-399A8E72.pf (size: 71kb -- md5: d334d955d85727879430f67f44cc8a81)C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe (size: 53kb -- md5: 62bb79160f86cd962f312c68c6239bfd)C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\wuauclt.exe (size: 109kb -- md5: ed7262e52c31cf1625b65039102bc16c)C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wuauclt.exe (size: 53kb -- md5: 62bb79160f86cd962f312c68c6239bfd)11 people need an answerI do too

Will this fix the problem on PCs using WSUS ?All of our PCs only use WSUS for updates, they cannot go directly to the Windows Update website.The strange thing is that we are seeing the high CPU problem only on some PCs !Has the "fix" been made available to WSUS ?
