Help me before I go insane
Recently one of the svchost services is taking up 50% CPU usage on my computer, according to the task manager. When I close it, about half of the running services close as well, making my computer soundless and internetless. Anyway, I can't pinpoint what the exact problem is because the svchost is loading so many services as well.
I download WinPatrol, then systematically closed every single service related to svchost. Result - no drop in CPU usage. This is driving me insane. I've done 2 virusscans, antispyware/adware scans, and everything in between. I've run system optimizers, registry cleaners, defragged, EVERYTHING!! but the problem just won't go away. Is there anything else I can do short of reformatting?
P.S This only started happening after I downloaded a theme from AlienGUISe (WindowsBlinds from Alienware) then attemped to change back to the default XP theme from within AlienGUIse.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hey lady, I need a yank! Ha ha, dislocation.
