wbemcore.dll using 100% CPU through SVCHOST

[Madzilla]

For months now I've been having a disappearing/reappearing problem of
SVCHOST using all CPU resources. If it happens, it *only* happens
whenever I am connected to the Internet, usually after several hours
of the connection being open, and it ends either mysteriously, or when
I end the connection.

Multiple adware, spyware, anti-virus/worm/trojan scans later, nothing.
HijackThis doesn't find anything.

Using Process Explorer, I've determined that SVCHOST is accessing
wbemcore.dll; when I kill SVCHOST's accessing of wbemcore, my system
returns to normal. What would cause this situation? I run WinXP SP1;
it has happened both on dialup and on DSL.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out above listings. It sounds like something you
might want to live with until next service pack(SP2)
comes out this summer...Good luck.
