Svchost.exe 350 mb and rising!

[Dave Jennings]

Hi everyone,

From time to time my PC almost freezes, and then slows to a crawl. Task
Manager shows many instances of svchost.exe running, but one you can
watch racking up to in excess of 350mb and still rising! Enditall
software doesn't always seem to halt it so a reboot is needed.

Full AV and spyware software runing, updated daily - so any idea what
might cause this dramatic rise in file size, and how to eliminate it?

Thanks in advance.

Dave, check your system using this. Bazooka Spyware. Finds parasites that
most miss. But you have to
remove them manually follow their directions.
