• Svchost.exe netsvcs paralyzes my computer

  I am running windows 7 on an HP Pavilion age of 1 year Entertainment PC. Recently, my computer started running a lot slower and hotter spasms. When I study with Windows resource monitor, it always seems to be a version of svchost running at almost 100% of my CPU usage. It usually seems by svchost.exe (netsvcs). When I try and put an end to the process always restarts immediately and goes back to grab my resources. The last time I tried just hanging in and my shockwave plugin crashed into firefox, until I got it. Another that I'm not having any luck correlating the process to any specific program. even when I've yet to open any program that he often sits is almost 100%. I use Norton anti-virus and have tried to run a virus scan, but he did not find anything. Help?

• Svchost.exe CPU / out max memory due to the update of Windows

  I'm having a problem with a svchost.exe process running the CPU at 100% and more than 200 000 K of memory.  The service seems to be related to Windows Update (PID 6408).  Is there any solution for this?

• Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

  I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

  Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

  Hello

  I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Disable the anti-virus software

  Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

  There may be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe can host a single service for a program, and another instance can host several services related to Windows.

  To use the Manager tasks to display services running under each instance of svchost.exe.

  a. open the Manager of the tasks in the right-by clicking on the bar of tasks, click task Manager.

  b. click on process tab.

  c. click Show processes from all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Svchost.exe using 99% of my CPU

  Title says it all

  It seems that your system may be achieved a malware.

  Some reading on svchost.exe and how it can be hidden (just read).

  http://www.file.NET/process/Svchost.exe.html

  Sometimes, it may seem that one of your svchost.exe process is out of control with all kinds of CPU and memory, so understand that some malware will hide as a process behind one of your several svchost.exe processes.  Everything you see in the Task Manager is a process that has run amok of svchost.exe.

  The malware knows that you will not be able to find and see it in the Task Manager.  The hopes of malware, it will inspire you to do something drastic as use a Restore Point, perform a repair installation, or even reinstall your XP from scratch when none of this is necessary.

  No matter what you use for software malware, detection and removal do this first:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  After the scans run clean and a reboot, see what things look like.

• Task Manager Windows has 5 svchost.exe/System cases and 3 instances of YahooWidgets.exe/Owner running in XP SP3

  I did a few recommended lately on the system settings.  I don't remember see these multiple entries above.

  It is normal to have several copies of svchost.exe appears in the Task Manager.  I have 8 right now in the process of execution.

  Important XP Services running "behind" these entries of svchost.exe.  Some svchost.exe process may have just XP Service running behind her, an another svchost.exe process can have several XP Services running behind it.

  In addition, malicious software has been know to dress up like a svchost.exe process to deceive you or sometimes the malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process, because he knows that you won't be able to see it in the Task Manager.

  I don't know what YahooWidgets and do not want to install any YahooWidgets to find out how it works, or if this is normal.

  Thanks to the bad implementation of the MS Answers forums, we know absolutely nothing about your system is always a good idea before troubleshooting to run some respectable scans for malware, then I'll give you some instructions, if you're curious to see what happens behind these multiple svchost.exe process see you in Manager tasks.

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

  Download, install, update, and make at least an analysis full (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  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.

  To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

  You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

  You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

  Download Process Explorer from here:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

  You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

  Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

  Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

  Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

  http://KB.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&ID=SOLN146
  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• 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:

  It's a non-issue.  Explorer is continually questioning the key in order to maintain the status of the network connection in the up-to-date notification area or warn you if you lose network connectivity.  If you want the query to stop then go into your properties of the network adapter and disable the "Show icon in notification area when connected" and the "notify me when this connection is limited or no conectivity.
