• Windows Xp Sp3 System Restore Points in the process of disappearance

  Without warning my system restore points are missing.

  I checked all the obvious reasons (lack of disk space, etc.)

  I can always put a manually restore point, but when I do it disappears the next time and I'm back to a restore point

  Anyone in the community saw this behavior before?

  Y at - it a known solution?

  I need my system restore to function properly as over the years, I've resorted to using it on more than one occasion

  I just got the 'volume' down on my percentage for RPs to 200 MB space and he killed all of them except the last RP.

  Then (although SR was always open) I did a new PR and there were two in the calendar.  Then I did another and there were three...

  Then I closed SR and began again and only the last one (number 3) was still there and the other two had been killed.

  Did you present your cursor percentage of volume, right?  If this isn't the case, you should at least try.

• I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

  Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

  I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

  I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

  What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

  Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

  First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

  My Windows 7 operating system has just decided he wasn't more "authentic." I thought I fixed it, but he came back. I have to do a system repair/restore/etc?  Should I still worry about this or the police will come knocking at my door?

  Looks like you used a disc at retail to install with the OEM SLP key. An OEM SLP key works with your media recovery of manufacturers. (an OEM SLP key can be activated by normal means).

  the simple solution is to change your product key to the one on your COA.
  EDIT: Oops. must have been click Start, type slui 3, press on enter

  Additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  COA SLP: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

• CPU ankles 95-99% stuck on svchost.exe after that Windows update Nov 12 patches to not install

  Automatic update of Windows was put on 'On' on the morning of November 13, 2013, when I received the notice of Microsoft system tray that updates of Windows patches were ready to be installed on my computer (XP sp3, IE8, MSE).

  Updates proceeds to installation with the updated bars before the normal close.

  Updates is apparently blocked at the first update. I let it run for about 15 minutes before I made a hard stop. I thought that maybe I had lost to the Internet because the update seemed stuck on the first and took too much time, it seemed.

  Next start, computer slows almost stopped after a few minutes.

  Guilty is svchost.exe SYSTEM alternating between 95 and 99% of my system resources. I turn it off and computer returned to normal.

  Has done research on the web, stop automatic updates and processor svchost problem disappeared, unless I went to Microsoft updates and svchost.exe Web page re - would seem to consume almost all of the CPU resources while bars update Microsoft constantly scanned my system for the latest upgrades necessary.

  Spending a day to try various fixes posted on the internet. A Microsoft Fixit said that he there had errors in the update and fixed all but one saying registration number was bad (said he couldn't fix that). Despite everything, still the same problem.

  On the same day, an error was unable to update the definitions of virus on MSE, but for some reason, the next day (14) updated crossed.

  Update: some progress: I leave svchost cogitate on the webpage update from Ms. After about 1/2 hour, the updated hotfix list showed. I tried to install it, but not updates managed to install. I am currently re - try, as suggested on the Web page.

  Also tried the command "net stop" method mentioned in several places, as a tool of Malewarebytes Anti-Root running. Nothing.

  Tried the fix for IE8 security as suggested, nothing.

  Tried system restore, but I must have something wrongly configured with it because it was not able to restore any earlier date, I took. Bad luck.

  Never had a big problem with my set-up in all the years I've been running XP sp3, until now.

  Next thing I'll try is Park on the side of Windows Update for an hour or two, with the idea that maybe my processor is in need of more time to digest something.

  I see that others have had this problem, but not necessarily with patch release on November 12.

  UPDATE: some progress, perhaps. 1/2 hour parked page update of Windows, with SVChost churning away, and I got a list of patches. I tried to install, but all of them failed to install. I try a re - install, as suggested.

  Let me propose a summary of how to fix the MSE / Windows Update problem and the svchost problem:

  1st thing to do is to disable the automatic updates window. This will keep your computer against svchost.exe freeze for now.

  2nd, follow the instructions in Xircal to check that you have "BITS" listed in your list of "services". Correct it if not.

  3rd, IE remove it from your list of programs, and then reinstall it, making your first update of the IE rollup, as suggested previously.

  That he "should" do and you can activate the automatic updates on svchost.exe should return to normal. Proceed with the update of Windows and MSE as usual.

• Someone at - it a repair for a function that is usually common in Windows, the Svchost.exe process? I and many other users of PC have infested with this mystery bug. Its not to damage yet, but...

  I'm infected w / which seems to be the most mysterious infection known for Windows right now.  One wonders if it's a Trojan horse, worm, malware, etc., or just a natural process for C: Windows\system32.  It's almost like 'shadow people '.  For most, there quite harmless, fantasy of the mind.  But, from time to time, there is actually something that happens on the corner of your cornea, so to speak.  This is very sneaky and difficult to diagnose a problem b/c he hides with the Service host.  I'm here b/c I have a question, but also to help others to understand that, unlike the 'shadow people', the shadow of an infection is very REAL.  This infected process is, for the most part, quite harmless unless something malicious attaches to it and could things get a bit risky.  Anyway, I'm sorry for this rambling diatribe, but I have a question for someone who is very smart b/c so far it seems not yet to be a definitive repair because some people still think it's a natural function or process in the Windows operating system.  So here it is: How can I solve this problem?  And I can fix it with or without a full restore of my records?  I'd really appreciate any input on this very discouraging, boring, mind and body draining, faulty computer "BUG".  BTW, I have a dv9500 HP Pavilion x 64 Ultimate for Vista that was bought there are 3 1/2 years.  I've dealt with this infection since the end of February and have spent more than $400 on this terrible nuisance.  But Club (all jokes aside), I really enjoyed, grateful and very thankful for someone with an answer to this complicated issue.  Thanks for the time!

• Why my svchost.exe process constantly runs at 100% CPU usage?

  Recently, my computer was extremely slow.  I thought that was the cause of a worm or virus but after I used Norton to take care of that my system is still slow right too. When I checked my system process, its display svchost.exe using a massive amount of memory. Therefore, my CPU usage is constantly at 100%.  Is it still the result of a bug? Or do I have to look elsewhere as the source of the problem? Thank you

  It is possible that a recent update of Norton was faulty or caused one conflict with another program on the PC.

  Activity excessive svchost.exe is often linked to one of the following:

  1 resource hog like Norton or McAfee (sad but true)

  2 be linked in Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update

  3. after having been updated for Windows Search 4.0 and its endless reindexing

  4. the presence of malware

  Unless you have uninstalled Norton AND used their removal tool, I doubt you really deleted ALL occurrences of Norton!

  FWIW, I helped a neighbor recently with his performance problem. The culprit in his case was Windws Search 4.0. And since there is no entry in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs to KB940157, I needed to follow the instructions offered by Nepatsfan here:

• Windows xp sp3 system root of the Hal.dll error or not found after auto update of windows system corrupt does not load.

  12/07/2011 my system automatically downloaded a system update and rebooted when it restarted, it wouldn't load windows and gave this error message. What should I do? I tried to remove the hard drive and put it on another computer if I could look at the problem but I don't know what to do to fix. My backup information are on another hard drive in the original computer. I use Norton 360 for my backups.

  It is extremely unlikely, there is nothing wrong with your file hal.dll despite what says the error message (do not try to replace).

  It is extremely likely that XP just cannot find the fine hal.dll where it says to look for.

  XP is maybe not able to find the file, it's file system is corrupted (Norton that sometimes), or if your c:\boot.ini has somehow become corrupted and told XP to find files in never never land.

  You must first run a chkdsk /r on your distressed HARD drive and if that does not do it, you have to redefine your boot.ini file.

  If you have the drive in another machine, you can open the file c:\boot.ini with a text editor and copy/paste the content back here for analysis.

  You can also rename your file c:\boot.ini to something like c:\boot.ini.bak (so now you do not).  In a single partition installation, XP is not even a file c:\boot.ini to start.  He'll complain briefly, but always begin (unbelievers - try it).

  t can take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  I'll keep an eye on your Norton since when your charge again, Norton System may corrupt your file system again and you will have to repeat the chkdsk/r to repair (so you can set Norton).

  I put the drive in the original system and fix it there with the XP Recovery Console.  After all, it's where he has to work, right?

  If you have any bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can start the XP Recovery CD of Console, you can make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
