guilty svchost is running is stisvc, not sure if that helps or not. any info would be sooo welcome -----Original Message----- ok here is my situation, every time I boot up my computer i find that one of five svchost.exe processes is using up nearly all my cpu. this problem starts several minutes after windows has been started, or if i try and open up MY COMPUTER or any other task that looks for my harddrives. I can shut down the offending process in the task manager and the computer will run fine until I once again try to access my drive c: or D: or if I surf the internet. I cannot do things like open up saved files on my computer cause when i do svchost.exe starts to use up nearly 100 percent of the processor. I have tried using several spyware programs that found nothing, I have run norton, avg, trend, and their online virus scanners to no avail, (nothing was found), I have downloaded and run worm fix tools for the blast worm, the fxSasser worm,and the FixSbigF worm. I am running out of things to check, anyone have any Idea how to fix this problem? anyone else experiencing the same thing? oh I also downloaded the patches commonly associated with this problem as well.... not sure if i was supposed to install them in safe mode or not.... oh and i am running windows xp.

svchost.exe help needed
Have you tried HijackThis and msconfig? They list exactly what is loading up
when you start IE and Windows respectively. Can be a bit of an eye-opener. I found a major infestation through HijackThis when nothing else had spotted it (and I tried all the same things as you have).

svchost.exe help needed
I've just Googled for "stisvc" and found this, which looks relevant:
http://www.computing.net/security/ww...rum/11640.html Might be worth a read if you've not seen it. Alternatively, why don't you post up the output from HijackThis? Hopefully someone may be able to pinpoint what you should fix. This doesn't seem to be the greatest forum for getting answers to these sorts of questions - I posted what i thought was an interesting problem weeks ago and no-one has got back to me /at all/, rather depressingly. Expert Exchange seems pretty good and helpful as an alternative, you could try that. Mandy "cody" wrote in message ...
