Anyone know how to fix 99% cpu svchost.exe

[Meow]

Good its fixed. Now can anyone answer why it was doing this, and why I needed it - well actually seems I don't need it.

Maybe it has something to do with my hosts file, which I got to block ads. It's confusing.

Make sure you don't have a bloated host file.

Enable dnscache after running this command in the command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns

You can do without the service, but your system will have some extra network overhead.

Spybot and MBAM didn't find anything. MS Security essentials found Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.BH. I removed that.

ipconfig /flushdns didn't work, if I try to reboot with dnscache automatic, it still is 99% when I try to connect to anything. If I start the process the same thing happens the next time I refresh a page.

Is there anyway I can repair it? Disabled is the best solution for now.

Try this.

Yeah that was the first thing I tried, its about 3 years out of date and the windowsupdateagent is an older version which won't overwrite. The fix svchost.bat ran but didn't solve the problem - infact thats where I suspect the java exploit came from.

Did you try deleting system32? It's known to slow down the computer immensely.

fixed this, it was a bloated host file problem. Very funny zoomorph, probably easier just to delete u tho.

Yeah thanks meow after I disabled the process it was my first line of attack to solve the problem since there weren't many clues.

However checking my hosts file is beyond me, I went to bleepingcomputer and got a microsoft mrfixit from there to remove the existing one, and viola, fixed. Then I just got a smaller hosts file to block damn doubleclick trackers, and viola no fucking ads lol.

I think the main problem was, I was using a big hosts file in the first place, designed for newer dual core processors with way more ram that my old POS comp has and then adding on top of it the spybot S&D immunity - which I think is a hosts file too.

Thanks for all ur help guys - except u zoomorph, fuck u bitch.
