Hey I just installed the windows xp service pack #2 today and then it started... now when I log on svchost.exe is using 100% if my CPU and when I stop it, my sound stops working till I restart. (obviously my sound device uses svchost.exe to work) But it has never done this until after i installed xp service pack 2...


Here's the hijackthis log.

The 100% CPU usage on start by svchost.exe is caused by Automatic Update (oddly enough this seems to be the case if you got Office 2003 and not with Office 2007..i suffer the same since i went back from 2007 to 2003 version). I advice you to turn of automatic updates for now (Microsoft will probably come with a working fix later this month) and frequently check for updates manually.

Thank you sunshine!!!

This has been fixed now, there is a new verion of the update agent.

It's set to be released in automatic updates on the 22nd of May I think.
