I could use some serious help right about now. I have a Compaq laptop running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and have been having some serious problems with svchost. It's been plaguing my system for over a month now.
First, I notice that the svchost spikes whenever I start the automatic updates. I have to keep it disabled whenever I want the computer to run normally. Then, I noticed that whenever I try and remove old software from my computer it spikes. The same is true whenever I try and install new software.
To combat this, I tried to scan the system first with Malwarebytes, but the cpu spikes whenever I start the scan, and the scan does not start - it simply sits there for hours and doesn't do anything. I tried using superantispyware, and the same is true. I had AVG on here, and it happened again, as well as when I had Avira. I have had no luck with scanning the computer to find out any solution.
