svchost.exe - pain in the ass

[staticprimer]

I'm getting 80-90% CPU utilization on one of the svchosts and I can't seem to get it fixed. I've tried the hotfix, disabling auto-updates, ran two spyware scans and am running virus scan right now, but I doubt anything will come up as I haven't gotten a virus in at least two years. I've spent the last two hours trying to find any other solutions, but so far nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the article, but I managed to narrow the problem down to a wireless network card I installed the other day. When I roll back to a restore point from earlier than that when I install it, the problem goes away. As soon as I install it, the problem comes back. I've never heard of this problem before, so I'll have to contact the customer support and see if they know anything.
