Thanks for your reply. Excuse my ignorance but what do CD, RM & RD mean.
When
I put these into the string the command is not recognised.
I look forward to hearing from you

If you want to put everything back to square one and re-sync everything
up:
1. Start Menu | Run ... cmd
2. net stop bits
3. net stop wuauserv
4. CD C:\windows (or your %windir% folder)
5. RM WindowsUpdate.log
6. CD SoftwareDistribution
7. RD /s DataStore
8. RD /s Download
9. CD C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader
10. DEL *.dat
11. net start bits
12. net start wuauserv
If you want to re-initialize the entire Windows Update operations (have
support files re-install), in Step 6, change to RD /s
SoftwareDistribution
and skip Steps 7 and 8.
This will cause Windows/Microsoft Update to sense that the support files
are
missing and will reinstall/ re-register and re-sync everything.
But do the other steps.
NOTE: this will cause the View History option on the Web-site to
display
nothing. The information is kep in each PCs DataStore/DataStore.edb
file.
You can check how valid everything is prior to doing all this using the
ESENTUTL utility. It will verify the DataStore.edb file as far as
integrity.
Just type ESENTUTL and a CMD prompt and follow the instructions. The
main
one is:
1. STart Menu | Run ... cmd
2. CD C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
3. ESENTUTL /g datastore.edb

Normally, the one that is the largest (SVCHOST), is the one handling
most
of the network related services .... specifically WIndows Update.
Depending on how your systems are set up, when you connect to the
Internet, Automatic Updates starts processing ... checking your system
against what needs to be downloaded.
This snapshot of the system is memory intensive. However, Memory
Usage is
not a concern, because it will be returned to the system. The item to
check is CPU, if that number stays high, then you have a corrupted
Automatic Update DataStore log or such.
Usually clearing out the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder puts
SVCHOST back in order.

Anyone know why the process "SCVHOST.EXE" would grow and grow larger
and
larger? What's happening is a few people's computers will get slower
and
slower, and then services won't run any longer, until the SVCHOST.EXE
is
Ended.
Anti-virus is installed and it's not finding anything on the PC.
Also,
anti spyware has also scanned the systems and didn't fine anything
either.
