    I am on a desktop Windows XP - Service Pack3

    My computer is using 100% CPU.

    I used Process Explore to find what was using all the CPU.

    it was svchost.exe -k netsvcs

    I ran virus scans - nothing was found.

    I searched for svchost.exe and deleted all those not in the  C:\Windows\System32 directory.

    It did find a couple files called SMSvchost.exe ina c:\windows\Microsot.net\Framework\v3.0 directory

    I ran HiJackThis and this is the log

    Wow. It may be best, as suggested above, to try a malware removal forum (the "Am I infected" link, but there are many others).

    (It is possible that these addresses come from your dns cache but still best to eliminate possibility of malware as cause)

    Yes, there can be possibility. You can start with MSE  http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

    For scanning the system

    Those are the processes and not the actual files. Check, its been labelled as "Running processes" 

    And not files present. 

    If you do care to read first, from the original post by KenCrom:

    I searched for svchost.exe and deleted all those not in the  C:\Windows\System32 directory.

    Unfortunately, you may not be in the clear. Rootkits can hide themselves in multiple devious ways. Do not rely on one tool. This is why I suggested a malware removal forum where you will assisted one-on-one until all that can be done, has been done. To be safe, my advice would be still to start a thread in one of those forums (such as the one already provided), giving them full details. At least it will be easier now that your pc is useable again.

    The alternative is this

    Run the following command:
    tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe"

    That will tell you what services are being controlled by the service host. You can force stop the services to free up CPU

    There were three processes I could not stop.

    RasMan

    TapiSRV

    and

    W32Time

    I stopped all the other processes, and they had no effect on the CPU usage.

    Thank you!

    Please try opening Task Manager and noting the PID (Process ID) of the offending process (That is using all your cpu)

    Download, unzip and open the appropriate (32 or 64 bit) standalone executable CurrPorts (cports.exe) Download link is at the bottom of this page.
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html

    Look for and report how many entries (if any) have a matching Process ID. Also list (if any) their Remote Address. These address(es) may give some clue as to whether the cause of the problem is benign or malicious.

    To be safe please also consider starting a thread here
    Am I infected? What do I do?

    You shouldn't have to stop Windows' system services to bring down CPU usage. It's either something wrong with the services or some malware infection.

    I think it's more likely a malware infection because in your original post you found many svchost.exe files outside of System32.

    Wow. It may be best, as suggested above, to try a malware removal forum (the "Am I infected" link, but there are many others).

    (It is possible that these addresses come from your dns cache but still best to eliminate possibility of malware as cause)

    You shouldn't have to stop Windows' system services to bring down CPU usage. It's either something wrong with the services or some malware infection.

    I think it's more likely a malware infection because in your original post you found many svchost.exe files outside of System32.

    Those are the processes and not the actual files. Check, its been labelled as "Running processes" 

    And not files present.

    If you do care to read first, from the original post by KenCrom:

    I searched for svchost.exe and deleted all those not in the  C:\Windows\System32 directory.

    Unfortunately, you may not be in the clear. Rootkits can hide themselves in multiple devious ways. Do not rely on one tool. This is why I suggested a malware removal forum where you will assisted one-on-one until all that can be done, has been done. To be safe, my advice would be still to start a thread in one of those forums (such as the one already provided), giving them full details. At least it will be easier now that your pc is useable again.

    The alternative is this

    Why has this thread been marked answered by someone other than the OP when the OP's last post was less than 24 hours ago??

    Why wasn't the OP's own post marked as sole answer ? Perhaps if he ever returns he can do so whilst unmarking those above.

    @mystifeid You deserve your second post being marked as an answer. After all, although I already suspected malware (because the OP wrote about multiple svchost.exe s being found), you deserve a better credit because you confirmed the existence of malware

    I'm quite happy for the OP to have full credit for solving his own problem. But I think there's still a chance he'll return and say - yeah, there is still something nasty on this pc.

    What will he think if he returns tomorrow and sees those replies marked as answer? Already.

    What would you think if you were the OP ?

    Credit ? You mean points. What a laugh. 

    Personally, I can't wait until I have more points, because then I'm gonna, then I'm gonna ... oh wait ...

    You know, I've spent quite a reasonable part of today writing a script for this chap

    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/scripting/thread/616283d9-3f86-41ad-879a-e1f446f40f27

    and an improved version 3 will be out soon. It's on an unmoderated forum where 95% of threads are never marked as answer no matter how good the replies. I can guarantee I will come close to falling over if this thread is ever marked with an answer.

    When you do get one of these though, and the OP comes back and says "Well, gee thanks, you really helped," (like the one above) - well that really means something. By comparison, when a moderator marks a reply of mine as answer, at best, it leaves an empty feeling, partly from the continuing amazement that they are actually allowed to do this.

    But when one of them pats itself on the back for some worthless fumbling, well...

    Well, I have been on this website for more than a year now, so I know it's not a new thing that answers are marked by moderators and answerers. I personally like this policy of having answerers and moderators being allowed to mark answers. It takes a lot of time and thinking to find a solution to a problem (unless the problem is straightforward). It is very common that the OPs never reply at all, so your hard work at solving the problem doesn't hold any value. I won't mind if they did away with Recognition points and the achievements system - but that's how they select Answerers, Moderators, MCCs and even MVPs. I really feel bad when my real attempt and sometimes real solutions are left without being marked whereas posts such as "We need more details to understand the issue" or "Please post in a more appropriate forum" (when someone posts in wrong forum) are marked as answers. This is because an answerer was wrongly appointed (just like the one who marked answer in this thread) because the Forum Owners looked at the Recognition points and appointed that person, without even taking a look at the quality of posts.

    That's why I want credits to be rightly awarded. So that the right person who worked hard moderates the forums and marks answers after reading all the posts thoroughly and then marking an answer, in case the OP never replies, instead of the current behavior -> OP didn't reply, somebody posted and proposed his own post as answer. The moderator (in many cases) marks that self-proposed post as answer, without giving any thorough look at other posts. That's all. I want hardwork to be recognized.

    Fair enough I suppose and very understandable.

    There are situations that provoke the same sort of response in me. These include
    - someone asking for an entire script but opening the thread as a discussion
    - someone who receives a detailed reply, says 'thank-you', then marks the thank-you as answer.

    But as someone who uses search a lot, my overriding concern is to see questions connected to viable solutions. How many times have you had to sift through a couple of hundred web pages to find a solution to a problem only to think, why was all that other stuff presented before this - this is obviously the only real solution.

    Moderators marking answers is more likely to contribute to this obfuscation (as in this case). Real value is more likely when the asker marks their own question.

    Having spent a lot of time on unmoderated forums I have seen that there are many more ways to deter an asker from replying or marking a reply than there are ways of encouraging them. If you care about these things you learn to take a great deal more care with your own replies.

    Hard work provides it's own rewards. Once spent five weeks full time finding an answer to a one question. Wrote and rewrote a couple of thousand lines of script. Generated a Chinese localisation. Read and experimented with many things. Learnt a lot of stuff that, at the time, I thought I didn't want to know. Except for the last hour or two I thought I'd never find an answer but as is so often the case, I found not one but two solutions. I was pretty happy.

    How do I compare the value of the experience gained from those five weeks to any recognition points ? There is no comparison. The experience is the reward.

    And for some reason, I see that I am also now 'credited' but the OP's solution ?...allow me to reiterate - this problem :
    svchost.exe -k netsvcs is taking 100% CPU
    should have been connected to this reply and no other (after about a month - not 20 hours - of inactivity on the thread)
    I think the problem is fixed. I used Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit and it finally found 3 infections. I rebooted and it seems to be running fine now!

    Moderators marking answers won't lead to obfuscation if moderators would be marking answers after going through the posts thoroughly. Anyways, since these posts are of hardly any value here, it would be much better to start a discussion thread on the TechNet Forum Feedback.

    In my case, i solved this problem stoping service "Windows Update".

    My WSUS server was downloaded more than 50 updates last night and still very slow, causing slowness or high CPU usage in my client computers/servers.

    I turned Automatic Updates off and it released all the CPU usage svchost.exe was using and the System Idle went back to about 94%. If I turn updates on Svchost.exe again takes all the CPU. I'm just running with Automatic Updates off until I can find a fix. I'll run it manually when I want.

    While everyone could be right about spyware/malware you need to update to the Sp3 fix for the issue first and see if that solves the issue....99.98% of the time this has been the issue after the SP3 update was done...

    to fix the service pack 3 issue is KB2870699

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40119.  It's to resolve the problem with high CPU.

    First back up all of your data before proceeding. (Better to be safe than sorry)

    This is late but I fixed a machine today after a Rogue infection and turns out it was automatic updates causing the issue. open up

    services.msc 
    Stop "Automatic Updates" and verify that it is indeed the service causing issues. 
    If it is causing issues, pop in an XP installation cd and reboot to windows cd. (if you don't know how consult a professional) Then press R for repair when the cd starts. Type in the administrative password and type:

    **ASSUMING D: IS THE CD ROM DRIVE**

    del C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng.dll
    del C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng1.dll
    del C:\Windows\System32\svchost.dll
    del C:\Windows\System32\wuauserv.dll

    Copy D:\i386\wuaueng.dl_ C:\Windows\System32
    Copy D:\i386\wuaueng1.dl_ C:\Windows\System32
    Copy D:\i386\svchost.dl_ C:\Windows\System32
    Copy D:\i386\wuauserv.dl_ C:\Windows\System32

    ren C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng.dl_ wuaueng.dll
    ren C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng1.dl_ wuaueng1.dll
    ren C:\Windows\System32\svchost.dl_ svchost.dll
    ren C:\Windows\System32\wuauserv.dl_ wuauserv.dll

    Reboot and everything should be back to normal. Good luck!

    Now in December the issue is fixed by KB2988785
