Something Seems TB Eating CPU, But What?
PC is spending most of it's time at 100% CPU, but the heavy hitter seems
to be hiding in SVCHOST. viz: http://tinyurl.com/jyr7l3l Response time was (and still is) at a crawl. Ran MalwareBytes and removed a couple of bad actors, ran the Norton uninstall for Comcast's competing anti-virus (Avast already installed). Rebooted, at first it seemed to be better - but then back to 100% except that something called "TrustedInstaller" was the heavy hitter for a few minutes... and then it was back to SVCHOST. Looks like TrustedInstaller is a legitimate Windows system app that, among other things, is a player in WindowsUpdate. Unencumbered by any knowledge or much grey matter, I would theorize that somebody has managed to inadvertently install something that doesn't want to die or be killed off. But what? Anybody else been here ? Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2, 32-bit AMD Athlon LE-11620 @2.4 GHz w/2GB of RAM Might it be time to cave in and "Upgrade" to Windows 10? Or would that be jumping from the frying pan into the fire w/only 2 gigs of RAM and that rather old CPU? -- Pete Cresswell
