svchost cpu problems

P

paul

When I start my dial up internet connection a process
called svchost.exe starts to take over all my cpu power.
As regular as clockwork, about every 20 seconds the cpu
usage spikes to 100% then drops back down again. While
the computer is doing this I can't start any large
programs without the computer locking up. After about 5-
10 min I normally get kicked offline and have an unstable
computer until I restart, but sometimes it will sort its
self out and the cpu usage goes back to normal and it is
fine. I have tried different ISP's, phone lines, Programs
running in the background, without any success.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
