cpu usage at 100%..ever heard of wuapd.exe??

[Guest]

i recently discovered it was taking exp. 2 min to load one page with my new high speed cable connection....i have run all antivirus, but my avg continuosly shuts down....I went to trend micro to run a scan, and it comes up with DOS_AGOBOT.GEN infecting my windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts . I do not know how to remove this virus because it states that it is in use when the virus protection goes to clean it. ON my task manager screen, i have a file called wuapd.exe that is running at 65% and it is relating to my SVCHOST.exe, causing it's usage % to go up and down with the wuapd.exe file. I have run adaware, nothing...i have tried just to end the process only for it to pop up down the line somewhere. What can i do to stop this?? I can't just wipe out my system because i am missing my system disk that came with the computer...any advice would be helpful.

I just did a search of my system and did not find WUAPD.EXE (I have XP Pro
and all updates.)

If you are not NTFS then you could try booting from a 98, SE, or ME boot
floppy and editing the Hosts file and deleting the wuapd.exe file.
