SVChost.exe is consuming 99% CPU

[Guest]

Hi,

Let me brief about the our infrastructure environment... we are having
windows domain environment. we are using Windows 2003 std edition as server
and windows XP SP2 at desktop side. we are using symantec antivirus 10.1.500
coroprate edition.

My problem is users are complaining that svchost.exe is consuming 99% cpu.
if we are killing that process the network services are stopping their
functionality. i have tried so many thing but nothing is working... if i am
freshly formatting and reinstalling the system will work fine.... but as soon
as it will be replicated with windows update server and all updates will
install in the system,,, svchost.exe is starting to consuming 99% cpu....

is any body can help me to resolve this problemmmm

Regards
Ronak

You need to identify which application is generating excessive use
of svchost.exe.

Download Process Explorer.

For further information about Process Explorer see here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

To ascertain which service is causing the problem select the svchost
producing the high CPU usage, right click, select Properties,
Services. Note there are the full names and some explanation of what
each service does.

You will find further information on Services here:

To trace the particular Service involved you need to turn off each
service in turn and then restore it noting what effect it has on CPU
usage. However, you need to take care and watch what other Services
are dependent on that service. When you click on the Dependencies
tab allow it a little time to display the information.
