    Hello,

    The past couple days I've noticed SVCHOST.EXE start going +50 CPU. For the most part it is sustained. I have linked a screenshot of the services that are running under this instance. I am running Win 7 RC, but I don't know that it's necessarily a Win7 problem. Right now it's not at a 'sustained' 50 CPU like it was last night, but every 3 or 4 seconds, it pops back up to 50 and then down again a few second later

    If this helps, here are the threads from ProcExp:

    I've tried a Google, but couldn't find anything conclusive. Curious if anyone may know what's up off the top of their head.

    Thanks!

    check the properties of the services

    start/run/services.msc
    check for dependencies

    also edot the properties of svchost.exe through regedit

    have you installed and programs that are *cough* warez or pirated? a trojan maybe on your computer.

    download malwarebytes install and run.

    i am sure you know the drill.
