Hi.

I've observed over the past few days when I start my computer up from cold, that svchost.exe hogs 100% of the cpu, yesterday a reboot stopped this today it did not, I then terminated it's task from task manager and the system returned to normal.

Scans with ad-aware, spybot and AVG Free have come up with nothing, and I run Zonealarm firewall alongside.

Any pointers?
