another solution is to
delete that file if it
is corrupted.

it's one of those files
that the o.s. will automatically
rebuild if it is discovered missing.

it would likely rebuild
a stable one.

Many posts about that recently. Search the newsgroup for posts on svchost
or svchost.exe. Use Google Groups Advanced Search:

This can be due to many issues including malware, but a common one right now
is automatic updates. There is a fix for it. See this link:

The problem is caused by Microsoft Update (ie auto updates for Office etc).
This became an auto function in a recent Windows update. Windows Update is
separate and does not cause any problems.
To stop the excessive CPU usage caused by svhost.exe, you need to turn off
Microsoft Update by going to 'Start / Help and Support / Windows Update'.
This will open the on-line Windows Update page.
Click on "Change Settings" down the leftside of the webpage and then you
should be able to turn off the Microsoft Update.
This will not effect your Windows Update. It will continue to function.
This will stop the high CPU usage problem.
You can thank Microsoft for not testing their updates and causing this
annoying problem.

I have run into the several times with new Dell systems with the dell image.
The issue was with windows update. This was the fix for all the issues I've
seen so far:

Stop the windows update service brfore begining this process.

1. Click on Start and then click Run,
2. In the open field type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and
press Enter.
3. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" message,
click OK.
4. Please repeat these steps for each of the following commands:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL

Restart your system.

Hope this helps.
