Fluctuating System Speed

I've got an issue with multiple SVCHOST.EXE processes running and it's really bogging my system down.

I have McAfee installed, but only because MSE & Avast both caused me not to log into my network (Cisco NAC Agent said I had no AV installed).
EDIT: I removed McAfee and installed MSE; still have the svchost issue.

Here's how my taskmgr looks:

Have you tried cutting out some of the running processes? I have 9 svchosts running out of 48 total processes. Similar proportion as yours. They are not using CPU as shown in your snapshot, just memory. I would be more concerned about running with 87 processes.

At least you're not running thekitchensink.exe

I also fold, so it brings my CPU to 100% a lot of the time.

But yes, I tried cutting some the other day and had to restart because a critical system process was terminated.

I am suggesting this as a starting point. Also the HJT log will provide needed info and help us identify any programs/services/etc which may be part of your problem. And the NAC is a pain. So many good A/V providers aren't on the Cisco NAC accepted list. MSE should work with NAC.

Please, don't do anything else on the computer while working with these programs. Perform all the below in normal boot, NOT safe mode.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware HERE or HERE and save it to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    o Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    o and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
- - - - - -

NOTE! If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download these files:Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com.

First, run the .SCR file by clicking it. If a black window opens then closes (or you get a message from the infection that RKill is infected) run the file again, do this until it generates a log of processes stopped. If .SCR will not run at all, try the .EXE, if the .EXE wont work then use the .COM until one of them gives you a log. Then work to install or run Malwarebytes.

DO NOT reboot immediately after running RKill because doing so will deactivate RKill and you will have to run it again. Just run RKill then malwarebytes, then HijackThis. Dont reboot until told to do so.
- - - - - -

Now, you can generate a HijackThis log by doing the following:

Download the HijackThis installer from HERE
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.


Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log.

If you are talking about stopping instances of svchost.exe that's not a good idea. You need to cut down the number of processes. If you look at what those svchosts are doing, they are related to and supporting the applications you are running.

It is quite disconcerting that you cannot directly see what they are up to. I use an app, either Svchost Viewer or Process Explorer to see what they support in general. Just being connected to the Internet uses about 5 of them.

I count about 370 MB of memory and 0 CPU shown.

Stop every user-initiated application you have running, Steam, Skype, WMP and all the rest that are out of sight (a through r) and see how that changes the instances of svchosts.

Run as admin isn't on the list, and it didn't give me the error saying hijackthis was restricted.

You have some things running, some as startups others are services you may not need all the time. Do you personally need:
  • F.lux
  • Steam (do you always need steam running?)
  • Flash player updater (I usually remove it)
  • Apple's bonjour, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
  • webcam
  • Win7 sidebar, do you use the windows sidebar?
  • Folding@Home, do you want to keep folding (you mentioned that it takes your cpu to 100%, are you ok with that happening often?)
  • Skype
  • do you own or use apple devices on your computer?
  • can you remember to update your own software, like google chrome? If so we can kill some services.
  • Do you have an ipod you connect to this computer?
  • Do you use Log-Me-In to remotely connect to other computers?

Flash updater can stay. Bonjour can go. I don't use the sidebar. I have an iPod or two I attach to this computer.

Everything else I took care of.

EDIT: I looked at [email protected] the comp last month I had increased the CPU usage bar :eek: So now my CPU isn't being used as much.

Did you disable this from running?

Thats not that many svchost's running i'm here listening to music and browsing and i've got 12 svchost.exe running where as you have 14. I do need to clean up my Hdd though I might do that now.

I was just asking about them. I was going to suggest some different things like:

Uninstalling F.lux, then I would remove the entries for startup like Google updater, Flash updater, skype, steam, windows sidebar, webcam...

I would also stop the entries in services for Google updater and also Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. That specific service (WMPNSS) tends to be a big drag on systems and most people never even use the service.

If you have made system changes I'd need to see another HJT log, unless you already made the necessary adjustments in HJT. If you want specific items to remove from HJT then just post a new log after removing the software you don't want/need. If you want help on other software you could remove, then post an uninstall list from HJT.

  • I dont know how familiar you are with HJT. So if you need the specifics then we can do more if you post an uninstall list from HJT first.
While your're at it go ahead and check the following for updates:

  • Verify Java Version to check to see if you are running the most recent version, it will lead you to the download if you need the new version.
  • Also Adobe Flash Version Check, compare the version it shows that you have and look down the list to see if you have the most recent version. If you dont have the most recent version of flash then you can get it here.

It goes without saying that if either Java or Adobe try and offer any 3rd party software during download or install, just un-tick the necessary boxes so you don't get the junk!

Yeah it adjusts the color of the screen at night to a 6400K color. Makes it easier on my eyes at night.

For your next post, put an uninstall list from HJT, if you're not familiar with doing this I've put instructions for ya.

Open HJT -> "Open the Misc Tools section" -> "Open Uninstall Manager" -> "Save List" this will save the list of programs and open the file in notepad so you can paste the list of programs here.

Do you have an Anti-Virus program? I dont see one in your logs. Did you uninstall Bonjour and F.lux?

You have definitely need to update the following:
  1. Mozilla Firefox (3.6.13)
  2. Mozilla Thunderbird (3.1.7)

I would also recommend checking all below programs for updates. Some of these may have updates, some have newer versions available. If you are aware that any of these programs are trial versions, consider uninstalling them if you dont need them or the trial has expired.

Check all Adobe programs for updates, usually can be done from inside the program. Check all others in-program for update capability or visit their site for updates. In parentheses are programs which you may need to update, check each for what is marked in (). I noted that an update/version may be possible depending on whether or not you have already installed it.

  4. ImgBurn (Possible New Version/Update available)
  5. K-Lite Mega Codec (New Codec Available)
  6. VLC media player (Update Available)
  7. Winamp (Possible update available)

Also:
  • Check in Firefox for add-on updates
  • Open the Apple Software Updater and let it find anything needed.

Program I would uninstall:
Google Earth - Most people never use it and its nearly the same as Google Maps.


Then, post a new HJT log so we can remove any crud that all the updating added (like startup entries, etc...).

(Edit!) After we deal with the HJT log; and if you have the time and you haven't done it in awhile, run checkdisk next on each HDD starting with the HDD holding your system.

Then run your cleaner program (nCleaner), I prefer CCleaner but its personal preference. Just run to remove all temps,history, cache, etc... I would not run the registry fix function, its just not needed except for in specific circumstances.

Take the time now to delete any folders/files/shortcuts you dont want or need.

Again if you have time and havent done it in awhile; defrag each HDD you use (Don't defrag SSD or flash drives). I like to use Defraggler for this. Allow the defrag to run by itself and make sure that your A/V doesn't start and that Folding wont start while defragging. Don't do anything on your computer while defragging, try not to even pause the defrag because it will take it even longer to complete if you do.

Updated firefox 3.6 (though I use the beta these days and RC1 just updated yesterday) and also updated Thunderbird.

The Adobe updater ran last week and updated everything.
Updated VLC, iTunes/QuickTime, and uninstalled Google Earth.

Will run chkdsk and defrag after we take care of HJT

Java's updater that runs from start-up. You don't need this because you can check for updates yourself.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jusched.exe"​

A bit that gets i-Tunes process running from start-up, unnecessary since when you open i-Tunes its process begins anyway.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe"​

DAEMON Tools Lite for making disk images, no need for it to be in start-up.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DAEMON Tools Lite] "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -autorun
NOTE: For F.lux if you really need the screen adjustment then don't fix this. But, its just one more thing being started-up and running all the time.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [F.lux] "C:\Users\Travis A. Anderson\Local Settings\Apps\F.lux\flux.exe" /noshow​

Skype start-up, unnecessary since when you open skype its process begins anyway.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Skype] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /nosplash /minimized​

Windows Sidebar, if you don't use it then lose these start-ups.
O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19\..\Run: [Sidebar] %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\Sidebar.exe /autoRun (User 'LOCAL SERVICE')

O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-20\..\Run: [Sidebar] %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\Sidebar.exe /autoRun (User 'NETWORK SERVICE')​


NOTICE: I am NOT having you remove this!

Yes its a Bonjour Service, this service is still there for some of the Adobe applications which may require it.
O23 - Service: Bonjour Service - Apple Inc. - C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe
Lastly,
Since you removed Google Earth, you can go ahead and remove the Google Update Helper since you don't have any other Google programs. After that, run HJT and if you find the below service remove it.
O23 - Service: Google Update Service (gupdate) (gupdate) - Google Inc. - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe​


Now a re-hash of a previous post:
  • If you have the time and you haven't done it in awhile, run checkdisk next on each HDD starting with the HDD holding your system.
  • Then run your cleaner program (nCleaner), I prefer CCleaner but its personal preference. Just run to remove all temps,history, cache, etc... I would not run the registry fix function, its just not needed except for in specific circumstances.
  • Take the time now to delete any folders/files/shortcuts you dont want or need.
  • Again if you have time and havent done it in awhile; defrag each HDD you use (Don't defrag SSD or flash drives). I like to use Defraggler for this. Allow the defrag to run by itself and make sure that your A/V doesn't start and that Folding wont start while defragging. Don't do anything on your computer while defragging, try not to even pause the defrag because it will take it even longer to complete if you do.

    I've never liked Windows defrag, so I turn off its scheduling and do it myself with a program of my choice (up to you to do this also).

(And as I asked before, where is your anti-virus program? Didn't MSE work with NAC? It should have.)
