Does anyone know how to modify the svchost so that it is
no longer using all my processor? I am running out of
ideas myself. Thanks,
Will
 
Greetings --

If Svchost.exe is using _all_ of your CPU cycles, it has most
likely been "hijacked" by a worm or Trojan. Have you tried using a
decent antivirus application with the most currently-available virus
definition files? A strong candidate would be W32.Welchia.Worm.
