Have u run adaware/spybot/and hijack this?
Mostly the antivirus program will not pick up the spyware
on your system that is causing the 100% cpu usage thru
svchost.
Google the above and download or go to cnet.com and
download there.

virus programs to remove spyware and to check if something
else is causing CPU usage at 100%. These solutions have
not worked. On my machine I am getting svchost.exe as the
culprit and if you search knowledge base there is a known
issue on W2K with this and MS suggests going to the RSA
site for a solution. I can not find it and would it be
applicable to XP?
