SVChost question

I am getting multiple instances of svchost when I check the task manager. One of them will use 98-100 percent of the CPU and thus everything take eons to open almost like being locked up. I can delete that one and all is well but it comes back. I am running WinXP-SP3 and have 2GB of ram and an ASUS motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am pasting a HJT scan below.
Thanks again,
Jim in WV

Thanks,
I will look over there and maybe I can get it sorted out.

Svchost

I suspect that the adobe updater is your problem. Typically this p[rogram never completes so the CPU is consumed trying. Open your adobe program. Then open C Drive and go Programfiles\Common Files\Adobe\Updater 5. When the update screen appears click on the Preferences button. Uncheck the automatically check for updates check box and click ok.
Once this is done you'll have to update Adobe manually.

 

I think you solved it!

Brilliant! The Adobe advice was spot on! I did as you said and it seems to have solved the problem!
Many thanks!
Jim
