Microsoft update causes scvhost.exe 100% CPU usage. I read that turning off Microsoft update and use only Windows update solves problem,but it still uses 100% CPU. This really pisses me off! I also read that this is known bug. When it will be fixed!?

The update site works for me OK, you have something wrong with your setup...
