Hi.Quickly moving on to my problem : After I turn on my computer (about 10 minutes later) my computer suddenly slows down. When I check my process it turns out my svhost.exe is eating up my ram and my cpu (100mb ram %79-98 cpu). When I turn off that particular schost.exe I loose my SoundMax driver and suddenly I have no more sound. So I have to uninstall the current SoundMax and re-install the driver from driver management in my computer. I am using XP with an SP2. I am currently using NOD 32 antivirus system scanned my computer twice couldn't find anything.(Once in safe mode once in normal mode) Scanned with spybot, again couldn't find anything. Looked at the usage of ports using NSauditor I didn't see something new. Meaning no new ports were being used. One of my friend told my I should scan my computer with Hijack This, I did. And it turned out I have multiple svhost.exe I know more than one shouldn't be working. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.
