Sudden loss of system resources

[robin]

I guess that there are a lot of people having problems
with SVCHOST.exe ..it is using ALL the CPU when I conect
to the internet. Try clicking on your task manager and
watch which program is hogging your CPU. I need help
also..so let me know if you find out anything!
