In case anyone else is experiencing this issue, where an instance of svchost.exe is using up all of your CPU, there is a fix
I installed it and all is good
My Desktop was useless for a couple days until I found the time to research it
Apparently the problem is coming from WinUpdate, but it's fixed with an IE patch ...
I know, it makes no sense to install an IE patch for this, but that's MicroShaft for ya
Here's the
writeup I got the links from
Apparently this issue dates back to 2002
Sure glad I bought this Virus
Download the linked file appropriate for you
Close all your programs etc
MicroSmurf recommends you backup all your stuff first ... up to you
I have everything on another drive, so in my case, 'Just Do It'
Nothing melted
Run the download
Reboot just for giggles
For IE6
For IE7
For IE8
I think we can do without you Mac users flooding this thread
