556012	2007-06-04 05:46:00	Whenever I turn my computer on (or even restart it), the CPU is maxed out and I can not do anything without freezing it up. The process that is causing this is called 'svchost.exe' and it is a SYSTEM process. It makes the Mem Usage go up and above 100 K, and the CPU around 100%. It stays this way for about 5-10 minutes before returning to normal, and I can finally use it, but this is not good enough! I have run all software like Spybot, Ad-Aware, AVG, CCleaner, and Trojan Scan, but nothing comes up! Also, here is a HiJackThis log in case it helps: ------------------------------------------------ Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.0 (BETA) Scan saved at 4:45:08 p.m., on 4/06/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgamsvr.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgupsvc.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgemc.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvc32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Linksys Wireless-G PCI Wireless Network Monitor\WLService.exe C:\Program Files\Linksys Wireless-G PCI Wireless Network Monitor\WMP54Gv4.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgcc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\WMPNSCFG.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe C:\Program Files\HiJackThis\HiJackThis_v2.exe R0 -
