Ask Leo: How do I fix this high CPU usage svchost virus or whatever it is?
mouser:
After I log in my system slows to a crawl. Looking at task manager I see that my computer is experiencing high CPU usage. Looking more closely I see it's something called "svchost" is taking 100% of my CPU time. If I kill the process suddenly other things stop working. Is svchost a virus? How do I fix this svchost problem?

Eh? We already dealt with this issue - just revert from "Microsoft Update" to "Windows Update". Unfortunately can't find the thread now.
Not sure but I'm sure I read recently that MS have now fixed this bug in MS Update.
justice:
last thing i heard they have a patch but you have to contact them to get it, it's not a big priority for ms (?!?!?!?). IN the meantime they recommend people to update to MS Update everytime on the WU site. how disappointing

Thanx for that. I think that will solve the problem someone asked me last week.
