Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services -- 100% CPU usage

Wal,
The RtlAllocateHeap is a function used for memory
The PID changes each time because most processes are given an individual
handles by the OS, but System Idle... have static PID's.
The service host you mention seems to be genuine... but the memory leakage
is the problem
What other updates are hogging processor time?

WinXP Home SP2
(Using Process Explorer, not Task Manager)
svchost.exe = Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has recently
started causing "CPU usage" to hit 100.00%, thus causing programs to
slow down if not hang completely. The PID of this item varies from
reboot to reboot (1008, 1000, 768, etc.). However, it's the
svchost.exe with the very long list of services, including Automatic
Updates, Computer Browser, Error Reporting Service, etc.
I clicked on the properties of this line item and then the Threads
tab. The specific item causing the CPU usage is entitled:
ntdll.dll!RtlAllocateHeap+018c
(For some reason there are two subitems with this label, but only one
is causing the problem.) When I Suspend this subitem, the CPU usage
goes down to the single digits. When I Resume the subitem, it goes
back up to 97%-100%.
The only thing about my computer that is different from recently is
that I downloaded an update of McAffee SecurityCenter (with virus and
firewall protection). This comes as part of my DSL package from
Verizon.
Any ideas on how to rectify this? Can I just keep the subitem
Suspended?
Thanks.
