• SVCHOST is keep my 30% CPU all the time!

  My CPU is housed at 30% all the time because of SVCHOST constantly running. There are multiple instances (usually 2 or 3) to operate and my CPU usuage never less than 30%. I watched until it SVCHOST is intended and have decided that I should not stop anything that has to do with it.

  Is there any fix out there to keep it from eating my system resources, or is it just a natural part of Windows now?
  (currently under Vista, even though I have this same problem on my laptop, which is running XP)

  Hi wildgamer,

  We have collected some imformation from the Microsoft Help and how article from the link below which will help you to know which services are used by various instances of SVCHOST.exe are running on your computer.  From there, you can decide if it would be a good idea to stop these services or not.

  Of the atricle:
   
  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.

  To view the services that are running under svchost.exe

  1. Open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar and then click Task Manager. 2. Click the processes tab. 3. Click on Show processes from all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 4. Right-click a svchost.exe instance and then click on reach or services. Services associated with the process are highlighted on the Services tab.

  What is SVCHOST.exe?

  This is probably a good idea to leave things as they are, if you are not noticed problems of performance for this reason, but it will tell you what services are used by svchost.exe.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.  Thank you. Shane

• The MRT.exe program keeps using 50% of my cpu all the time, how do I stop

  I really need help... After you install the update for the MRT. EXE for it can always stay less and its made my computer run slow and my cpu runs at 10 degrees warmer... I need help it is so frustrating.

  First of all, most of the people who respond on this forum is not related to Microsoft.  Unless the machine is identified as a "Support Engineer" or "Microsoft moderator system" or similar, he or she is not employed by Microsoft.  Thus, one who you "connected direct to" was not one of our "associates".

  MRT.exe is the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.  A new version of this tool is included in the critical updates each month on "Patch Tuesday" (the first Tuesday of the month).  It must run once - at the time download you - where and then be dormant for the rest of the month, except if you manually start upward.

  Apparently, the nameless person with which you handled has not well understand this.

  Have you ever received a message indicating that the MRT found something?

  Click Start > run and then type the following in the run box, and then click OK
     
  %SystemRoot%\Debug

  A Windows Explorer window will open and you should see - at least - a file named mrt.log.  Well, you will see another file named mrt.log.old, which is the last newspaper of the month.

  Open the file with Notepad mrt.log.  You should see something like the following:

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v3.19, may 2011
  Began Wednesday, May 11 01:54:01 2011

  Summary of the results:
  ----------------
  No infections found.
  Malicious software removal tool Microsoft Windows has finished Wednesday May 11 01:57:25 2011

  Return code: 0 (0x0)

  If there is an ERROR in the log, post it here or see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891717

  MRT.exe does not run continuously.  If so, something is wrong.

  MRT.exe should be located in c: Windows\System32.  If she is not there, look for your entire drive, making sure to check the search options "Search system folders", "search the hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders".  If you find MRT.exe somewhere other than C:\Windows\system32, it is probably malware masquerading as the real Malicious Software Removal Tool.

  Everywhere where you find it, delete it.  You can download the latest version of the MRT here.

  I also suggest you analyzing your system with free MalwareBytes Antimalware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  Be sure to update both scanners before their execution.

  If, after you remove MRT.exe, you get an error at startup complain that MRT could not be found, download and run Autoruns.  Click the 'Connection' tab and look in the column 'Image path' the MRT.exe.  If it is not displayed in the connection tab, click the "all" tab and use the file > search tool.  A characteristic of the search of Autoruns tool is that you must move the selection under the element line "found" before you "Find Next."  Once you find the entrance with MRT.exe, delete it.

• Y580 NEW plant all the time? Can't do anything PLEASE HELP...

  I recently bought a Y580 for almost $1000 (something like 2 or 3 weeks). First of all, it worked perfectly, but yesterday I had to reboot using the button, because it crashed. Now, whenever I start it, either I get a black screen or it freezes when I open something like firefox, explore or just a folder. AND the worst thing is that Ctrl + Alt + Delete does not work so I can't open the Task Manager.

  I don't know if this can help, but once when I reboot the computer, I noticed a message saying something about Verifyhost.exe. And I don't know if it's a coincidence, but "Lenovo TouchZone" reappeared with these questions (I had deleted when I got my computer).

  I'm begging you help me please I am a student and I bought this computer because I needed a good for the College. first of all, I was happy about it but now I'm really angry and I don't know what to do. I can't contact the support cause I don't have a phone that's why I am posting this here. Please help me.

  Thank you

  I did a system restore and now everything works. Hope this helps those who have the same problem. I hope that this will never happen again - very bad experience.

• Smartphones blackBerry how to remove an email 'saved' from your torch? (I'm constantly four new messages on the phone all the time and can't get rid of them!)

  Hi all

  I am somewhat a dufus and a few minutes ago has managed to highlight four emails (that I had intended to remove a small group), but managed to click on the "SAVE MESSAGE" by mistake. (Touch screens, bloody!)

  It has a small window saying "BACKUP MESSAGES", and since then, even if later I deleted the four emails, have a permanent icon red STAR on two of my email accounts, which indicates that there is a session of NEW MESSAGES waiting to be read - but are not everything.

  Also - at the top of the screen on the home page of the torch, in the same vein where the SOUNDS and the GLASS GROSSISSANT icon, I constantly for the symbol for 4 EMAILS sitting there, which usually only appears when there are actually four new e-mails waiting to be read. When I actually select the email icon, it only shows nothing - it's because there is NO NEW MESSAGES!

  Jeezzz... It was like him for 20 minutes, but he's really starting to annoy me! I did a power of battery pull reset hoping that it would open up when it re-initialized - but he didn't. The * beep * things me are still there watching. It seems that I have now deleted these four emails I've "saved", that I now can't access it to "possibly" the.

  Oh, and I do not use Exchange or something like that. I just got a bog standard torch, which simply reads a number of my POP email accounts Therefore, they are not saved on a Server Anywhere, as they were (at least 2 days) old emails that were downloaded on my computer for a long time and are no longer sitting on a server anyway - so God only knows where they have in fact been saved to.

  Help!

  HM.  Good, I don't save my messages, but let's try it.

  Open a folder of messages, press the BB menu button and select view folders.  There must be a folder for saved messages available.

  Hello
  Virus check is a good point. However, this problem is more due to system programs high load. There is a utility that you can use called tune-up desactiveur program used to detect system loading programs OR you can uninstall unnecessary programs from "Add or Remove Programs.
  In addition, this problem could be caused by more than 3 or 4 programs to auto-start automatically at this point, you can open msconfig.exe to disable startup items automatically (they are called startup items)
  There an expection more for this problem to occur, if your Windows is running too many services, you can always disable Msconfig.exe (System Configuration utility).
  Method 1: Disable programs using tune up
  (1) open tune-up utilities
  2) go to the tab named 'Optimizing System '.
  3) click on "Disable programs" under "reduce the load of the system.
  (4) where a new window should appear and you will be able to see the programs causing system load, you can have some programs that are required by the system. Those may be anti-virus or programs of the system operation. You can not disable it, but you can uninstall from "Add / Remove Programs". If you want to disable a program, that you can click on its status, then it will automatically 'disable' then 'off '.
  Method 2: Uninstall programs using the "Add or Remove Programs".
  1) click on the ORB 'Start '.
  (2) open the "Control Panel".
  (3) select "Add or Remove Programs".
  (4) to select the program you want to remove and click ' Change/Remove '.
  Method 3: Use MSconfig.exe to configure your system
  1) click on the ORB 'Start '.
  (2) select "Run."... »
  (3) type: "MSConfig.exe".
  (4) select the tab "Startup" from top
  (5) deselect items that aren't important and click OK. You can also disable Services', just go to the 'Services' tab and uncheck the services that you do not want. BUT be CAREFUL: Some services if disabled may cause the system to not work properly. It is therefore recommended that you check the box "hide all Microsoft Services", before clearing the check for specified services.
  Method 4: Use HiJackThis to find spyware on your computer
  -> Application HiJackThis is software from TrendMicro that allows you to scan your system for the file commonly manipulated by malware settings but also good software. So by doing a system scan, does not check just like the good and bad programs play a role
  (1) open "HiJackThis" from TrendMicro
  (2) select "do a system scan only".
  (3) wait for the progress bar to load then uncheck the file settings you do NOT recognize and select "Fix checked" button at the bottom.

• Can not access the site Web of John Lewis, get message server unexpectedly dropped the connection all the time

  Use the iMac with El Capitan 10.11.1 & Safari 9.0.1

  During the last week, I was unable to access the site Web of John Lewis and the message "Safari cannot open page www.johnlewis.com because the server dropped the connection unexpectedly. Sometimes this happens when the server is busy. Wait a few minutes and then try again"I retry but get the same message all the time. Can access all other sites ok.

  I emptied the cache, deleted the cookies and history. Enter the name of the site in its entirety is not helped either.

  Unable to access the Web by John Lewis site with my iPad either.

  Help!

  Try restarting/resetting the router.

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  Safe mode - on El Capitan

  Start Mode without failure-El Capitan.
