TCP/IP program on my PC takes 100% CPU resource, I am told its some virus/trojan - how to remove ?
91855
In Windows 2000 and Windows XP the SVCHost.exe tends to consume lot of memory and it will almost use all the CPU resource. One of reason for this because of unwanted services that runs in the background. For example the following Services wont be required for a normal system that is used in home:\n1) ClipBook \n2) Fast User Switching Compatibility\n3) Indexing Service\n4) Messenger\n5) Net Logon\n6) Network DDE\n7) Network DDE DSDM\n8) Routing and Remote Access\n9) Alerter\n\nand depending on your OS you may also disable\n\n10) Remote Registry\n11)Telnet\n12)Terminal Services\n \nYou can use the Services Item in the Control panel's Administrative tools section to disable and enable these options. Be sure to write down the services you are disabling and try to enable them if something goes wrong with the modification.\n\n-GKathire

Try ANDR.\n\nhttp://andr.net/\n\nHave a firewall up and running, and a good virus scanner.

Try updating any firewall software on your PC (try ZONEALARM SECURITY SUITE), clear any viruses Quarantined by your anti-virus software.

Start-> Run -> type "msconfig" -> "Startup" tab -> UN ckeck the unwanted programs.. I think the most important are the applications of the antivirus and firewall programs you use...\nYes the startup programs consume RAM..

Well you also got a billion things of spyware also.\nIsuggest downloading AVG Free for the viruses and SpyBot for the spyware. They are both free and are updated often.\n\nAVG Free - http://www.grisoft.com/doc/10/lng/us/tpl/tpl01\nSpyBot - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

Run a anti virus and a spy ware program.  It sounds as if it's spy ware.

I believe in XP the only way to make this occur is to delete the files for ping and ipconfig (which is what these folks are getting at above) or you could have disabled TCP/IP which will cause these programs to cease to function.\n\nBy default you cannot uninstall TCP/IP in XP but it can be disabled.  OPen your network settings and be sure that the check box next to it's listing is checked.  If ping or ipconfig still do not work, reinstall TCP/IP which will refresh the files.  This is not documented but can be done by opening the network setting and clciking the add button,  Specify to add a protocol.  When asked for it's location browse to the c:&#92;windows&#92;inf folder.  TCP/IP wil be an option here and will reinstall itself, adding these potentially missing files back as well.

Get rid of Norton and get a good anti-spyware program. Here you have some free options:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/security.htm

Hi - this may not give you a direct answer or even help much - but I found a great website.\n\nBasically if you bring up Task Manager (normally Ctrl Alt and Delete then click on Task Manager)... and see what is running in the background by going to the process tab.... \n\nOften there are things running that shouldn't be, or are running and using lots of memory / CPU time that aren't really needed.\n\nGoto http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm\nand see what each process is... you may find some obvious ones that can be removed... The website tells you to remove them by using their software... but if you just search for the file that is running on your computer there may be easier ways to stop them.

If you connected to internet and only surf the web with a browser on the laptop, you got sent more than receive, you have some program running in background than you know, install a firewall and see what program is sending out data, if it is not intended, uninstall it.\nIf your antivirus and spware software found nothing, you probably need a update on their database, use their update link, if still return with nothing you got to change to better one.\nrecommendation: avg free ver.7  \nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10503939.html?tag=lst-0-2

I recently had a similar problem.  It turns out my computer was infected with a trojan horse called Vundo.  I was able to download a removal tool from Symantec.com and that together with my McAfee antivirus software took care of the problem.  See everything you could possibly want to know about Vundo at the link below.

you can also try running virus scan and spyware removal, to get rid of all the junk that is using your system resources without your knowledge, also if you are running windows xp or 2000 press ctrl, alt, delete and bring up the task manager, go to the processes tab and see what is actually running on your system and how much memory usage each program is running, if you see something that is using a large chunk of memory and you know for absolutely certain that it is not a vital program for your operating system, like explorer, shut it down if you arent using it, you can also run through the add/remove programs list in control panel and remove programs that you will never use that run in the background while your computer is on, there are a lot of little tweaks you can do to take advantage of what little ram you have

Great question and thanks for participating. It's obvious that you have a great deal of knowledge with computers simply because you wouldnt have the particular equipment in your computer if you didnt. There are a few things that can cause that problem as you know, cookies and temp files being the main cause. Also, by defragging the hard drive will help. The registry files can also cause problems of that nature and will need to be cleaned up and repaired if necessary. Registry cleaners are available at no charge in some cases and can be found by using www.google.com. Last of all, do not overlook the possibilities of trojans, viruses, etc which can also cause that problem for you. If I can help in any way, plz let me know and i'll work with you step by step until the problem is solved. Hit me on dumbbutt4321@yahoo.com if you'd like. Larry RadioShack 01-9590
