I am having great problems with svchost grabbing all my resources when I first turn on. It grabs up to 100% of resources and my computer runsextremely slowly for many minutes. I have been told that it is an essential part of microsoft but what does it do?1 person needs an answerI do too

You need to establish which svchost.exe process is hogging the CPU and which service using that process is responsible. In this situation it is also sensible to check for malware.I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager but it goes much further. For further information about Process Explorer see here:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx In Process Explorer when you have the particular svchost process you are interested in right click on it and select Properties and open the Services tab. Download and install Malwarebytes (freeware version for home users only), update definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software whilst you are doing scans.http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
