Hi,
We are having a nightmare with file svchost.exe.
When we boot up our PC, svchost.exe shows several occurences in the Task
Manager. However, one in particular (the only one marked as LOCAL SERVICE),
shows a constant rise in RAM use until it finally causes the machine to
crash (because it's using 7 gazillion megs of RAM!).
We have installed:
Norton Antivirus
McAfee Antivirus
PestPatrol
Adaware
Anti-Trojan Shield
Butm despite finding one or two other things, svchost.exe seems to still
have trouble. We deleted svchost.exe but this caused Windows to stop
recognising devices, Internet etc - so we replaced it with a known "good"
svchost.exe. To our surprise (or were we really *that* surprised), the same
problem still occured.
Can anyone help, or does anyone know what this is? It is doing our heads
in!!
Does the fact that it is marked as LOCAL SERVICE have any significance? All
other occurences of svchost.exe are marked differently, and they all seem
fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Tracey.
