Svchost.exe is using up a lot of bandwidth on my computer and I don't know how to fix that! In an hour, it can use over 100 MB just from itself and not from me surfing the Internet! How can I fix this?

Hi :

"svchost.exe" can be "associated" with many different programs;
on my computer it is listed 4 times ( in my Task Manager ).
Which SPECIFIC program is it "linked" ?

See Why is Taskhost Consuming So Much of My CPU? The same situation applies to svchost.

I don't know. How can I find out?

Try Process Explorer - right-click an instance of something like rundll32.exe or svchost.exe and it'll tell you what dlls and such are loaded.

These are the dlls I found after I right-clicked each of the svchost files and clicked the service tab:

Hi :

Did you read the info in Lincoln's article, especially the
following and tried to follow it !?
"If malware doesn't turn up, download and run Windows Sysinternals Process Explorer (you don't have to install it). Once loaded, you can find and point to the hoggish instance of taskhost.exe. To see what .dlls are using it, select View, then Show Lower Pane. Press CTRL-d to make sure you're viewing .dlls and not handles. " Of course substitute "svchost.exe" for "taskhost.exe" .
There is an excellent Support Forum where Experts interpret
what the "Screen Shot(s)" are saying at

That would be the best place for an Answer to your problem .
