My processor is almost always at 100% and I've got absolutely no idea what to do.  :| I'm probably going to get a new PC by the end of this month, but till then I can't stand all the lag and slow operating. :|

I tried. Some of them tell me to turn my automatic updates on, but I can't, since my Windows version isn't original...

Operating System is the only thing I would never get pirated.

Enable it to download the updates but not install them, then look up Windows Genuine and things like that and uncheck them or you can uncheck all and just install the important ones(service packs, etc).
Used to do this back in the day on windows 98, have also worked perfectly on XP and 7, at least for me. none of them were "original".

It's a virus, and the reason you have it is because you're using pirated windows. The way to fix this is re-install with a clean copy.

So? You can get the virus either way :rolleyes:. However, if you have a pirated version of Windows it's highly likely to come with things like this, check this (http://www.ehow.com/how_5132341_remove-svchostexe-virus.html) out if you don't believe one exists.

EDIT: This (http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-081815-2308-99) is generally what the virus is. Why do you think it uses a high CPU usage? It all happens for a reason, this is the most common reason why if not the only reason why, and if the problem exists on a pirated windows it's just obvious.

Why do you think there are so many pirated copies of Windows around ? because everyone is being nice ?. In some cases yes but most of the time people just attach something like a virus or a botnet to it. A botnet would slow down the whole computer and cause high cpu usage.

Its just not worth getting a pirated copy. Cheap skates  :P

Somebody on this forum possesses common sense... holy shit. And on top of that when people are torrenting, even if a download starts out clean, because it's file sharing anybody can easily seed out a virus into the network. Many many torrents install crimeware and such on your computers without you knowing about it; these hackers aren't idiots, they know people are stupid enough to download all this shit. Anybody who pirates software frequently is bound to have tons of things like this (keyloggers, etc). Many viruses are also time-based, so they can install alongside software inconspicuously and activate later on. Crazy Trainer is a good example of that, a trainer detected as a trojan horse virus in almost every form of AV software. However, because the creator has a good reputation for making the software, people say it's a false positive. These guys have people wrapped around their little fingers, he even calles himself 'CrazyVirus', they get a kick out of 'trolling' as forum nerds might say. I haven't had that trainer installed for months now, thank god :P

Aye, but that virus came directly from the creator of the mod, not me. I didn't know it was in the folder until I installed the latest version of my AV on my new computer ;)

It's only using 50mb of your ram, mine uses 14mb but I don't really think 50mb is a problem unless you got some 128mb ram :lol: :lol: and I see the cpu usage is @ 0..

Kill the process?

That file is a part of the running operating system you can't just kill it.
Depends on the virus :P

When a windows service uses 50mb of ram (which isn't much at all) and as you can see from his pic theres almost no cpu usage, that doesn't make it a virus, as you can see hes running a theme too, that exe is whats handling the theme aswell.

Nobody said that 50mb RAM makes it a virus, but you're focusing on the picture. He told us he gets near 100% CPU usage, and from the situation he's in, it's clear as day what's going on.

Sure, just like you paid for your III. And VC. And SA. And IV. :)

My net stopped after doing that, had to reboot the system afterwards.

who are you




P.S the svchost.exe is now using 30mbs less, which is... a lot, so I guess the trouble's gone.. for now. Thanks for the help and for unsuccessfully trolling the thread. Good day. :)

maybe this problem only with windows xp because it becomes old and no importance with it , you should upgrade to windows 7  , btw, also i had this problem 100% Cpu usage :/ some times it gonna until 102% as the airplane  :| :| :| :| :|
The OS has nothing to do with it really. WinXP is still the most stable.

Windows 7 is actually more stable now, so is Vista if you have it updated :P
