New Svchost patch for XP released!
Fixes the problem of Svchost.exe saying pegged at 100% cpu utilitization.
I've (and ten thousand other people) seen this problem many times before. The most common symptoms are Svchost.exe causing 100% cpu utilization for an extended period of time after boot up or after running Windows Update or Windows Defender. If you have this problem, be sure to download this hotfix.
