[QUOTE="Storeman, post: 3697690, member: 1138"] Although on some occasions, it could be a virus, the svchost high cpu usage problem is usually down to MS. The general consensus is that older versions of Windows have to search through the entire MS database of updates, looking for it's own updates. This causes the Windows Update components to slow the entire system. MS don't seem to keen on fixing the problem, causing many to believe that MS may be using the problem to push users of Windows 7, 8, 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. One work around I found was to download the updates manually via a 3rd party downloader and then install them manually. And then disable Windows Update. [/QUOTE]
