Whenever I plug my computer into the high speed internet, I keep having problems with svchost eating up all my memory. I know this is a critical application/file, but its really causing a nuisance. It goes up to about 120,000KB when I'm monitoring it on Windows Task Manager. I'll delete it and leave the other svchosts running, but it will make my Start Menu and all windows look like its running in Windows 95 or something. Then it will start up again with another svchost and I'll have to end that process, but then I'll basically lose all connection to the internet or something along those lines that makes me have to reboot and start the process all over again. I've tried running anti-virus and anti-spyware/malware programs connected AND disconnected from the internet, but it's still no help. Anyone with any relative information or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
