| 333923 | 2005-03-14 08:05:00 | I think i've been attacked by some trojan horse.or worm All was well when suddenly my pc's gone to a halt(well almost) everything's running @ turtle pace as my CPU has gone to 100% usage. In the Task Manager, there is 4 processes of svchost.exe the mem usage ranges from 468-11508k.. Is this Normal? thanks in advance :thumbs: |

| 333925 | 2005-03-14 08:11:00 | Do you have current Antivirus software? What does it report? I assume you are using Windows XP? svchost.exe is a normal windows process and you can have several instances of it running. There is a worm which has a similar name called scvhost or scvhost.exe. What happens when you reboot the machine? |

| 333932 | 2005-03-15 07:20:00 | There doesn't seem to be any worms/trojans (assumption) Could there be some program that it's trying to run over and over again and that's eating up my resources? |
