View Full Version : Slow down caused by SVCHOST.EXE

This software will occasionally slow my computer to a
point where the only way out seems to be restart. The
application will continuously run CPU usage to nearly
100% and it will also take up lots of memory. I found a
good description of the problem in the following article
only I don't think I'm running any RSA Security software.

This article was previously published under Q324139
SYMPTOMS
After running correctly for some time, Svchost may start
to consume a lot of memory, and may cause CPU usage to
climb to 100 percent. When this occurs, you may receive
no response when you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE at the
console. Existing users remain connected to the server,
but new users cannot connect.
CAUSE
This problem seems to be related to a tight loop in
Sdras.dll, which is part of the RSA ACE Agent software.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, contact RSA Security Technical
Support for a resolution.

Is there anyway to avoid this problem? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
