Pin svchost.exe

Hi All !

I've been experiencing problems with one my processes called svchost.exe. When I check the task manager box svchost.exe appears to be using about 140.000kb and as a result my system is running extremely slowly......

Any experts out there know how to rid my pc of this problem.

p-dogg, whats up !!!
svchost is a service host...meaning its hosting services such as audio , dhcp lanmanager, etc....Depending on how many services it has to run, it might be overloading and slowing down your PC...
If this is a win2k machine, from CD-ROM you can do tlist.exe...It will show you details of what svchost is running...or "hosting"...
