I have the last weeks also the problem with my processor, I even installed ubuntu because I hate 100% cpu. This is the first time I discovered scvhost. I will look this up when it happens again.

Is this also the reason of al those fucking updates?

I just had one of the svchosts processes, out of nowhere, start to cripple my Win7 32bit PC for the last 2 days, with the (Dual Core) CPU stuck on 100%. This particular svchost process was responsible for over a dozen net services process threads, all of which appeared to be standard necessary network services.

Using a combination of new admin alerts in the EventVwr, Sys Internals Process Explorer and svchost analyser, I narrowed it down to the main culprit being:

Windows Live Mesh Remote Desktop service.

Disabling this in services got me back about 60% of my CPU, and this particular svchost service then dropped off in task manager.

It was then replaced by another, utilising some 35 – 45%. By right clicking in Task Manager and going to the service, the only service attributed was Windows Defender…. (and we’ve all heard of that one before).

As many don’t realise it’s installed with Windows 7 by default (you can’t see it in your programs list), this link show a nice tuorial on how to disable it.

There are usually ten svchost.exe running . . . to stop one of them DISABLE windows defender . . . Window Defender Usually takes up around 2000K of memory when idle and around 15000K when scanning . . . I’ll check up other svchost.exe if i can stop them. . . thanks!
