hi

ive been running my homebuilt PC for a while and now ive started getting svchost.exe 100% usage. Ive tried a few hotfixes but nothing is working, ive downloaded Process Explorer and found out 3 threads that are causing the problem. I looked here http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/kernel32.dll.html and there is many different views on what it is. Ive suspended them and my CPU usage has dropped to 0 %.

Here they are :

kernel32.dll!CreateThread+0x22

kernel32.dll!CreateThread+0x22

kernel32.dll!CreateThread+0x22

There is 4 but one doesnt seem to be doing much.

Just needing some help or advice

P.S im running XP SP2

From what I've been able to see so far it that it is a version of the smitfraud virus.

Do a scan with an online virus scanner such as http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and see if that comes up with anything also, you might want to try an antispyware scan as well http://www.superantispyware.com/

would the process need to be active for the scanners to pick anything up ?
