svchost.exe

[John]

When i start my computer the CPU runs at 100%, i go into task manager and go
to the Processes tab, there i find 3 or 4 svchost.exe there (which is normal)
but 1 of them is running at 80 to 90% which is slowing my system down
terribly, i end the process and everything is ok>

How do i find what is causing this svchost.exe problem?

To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and the
'Show Lower Pane' options.
(This will provide some of the detailed info you may need)

Next expand the Process tree until 'Services.exe' has been expanded.
Next move the mouse cursor over the Svchost.exe process that you are
interested in.
Or expand the Svchost entry if you see a + sign to the left of Svchost
entry.
(You should now see a pop up with a list of services associated with the
Svchost.exe you selected)

Next double click on the Svchost.exe process that you are interested in.
The 'Properties' Window should now be displayed with numerous tabs
available.
(Two important tabs to look at are: Services and Environment)
