I have on WinXP SP2 that consistently pegs the CPU @ 100% for over an

Configuration:
3 GHZ Via MB
2 Gig Ram
C: 60 Gig (systemroot)
D: 130Gig (video work area)
E: 1TB (video files)

Part of Win2K3 SBS R2 domain
Managed by WSUS 3.x

When wuausev process kicks in, it grabs all CPU and runs for more
than an hour. It does this frequently during the day. On other WinXP
SP2 machines, it kicks in but only for a few minutes.

This system is where I store home movies for editing and rendering,
thus the disk space.

When it runs flat out for this long, it overheats the CPU and the
system "clicks off".

How can I manage the update scan process?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated


That's absurd. Windows update takes but a few minutes once a month (as you
see on your other machines).

More likely the bot herder has directed your machine to launch 250,000
emails touting a do-it-yourself tattoo kit.
