I believe that this is copy written.

Looks like it got edited quite a bit since that complaint. 75.37.20.85 00:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Svchost malfunction

Could someone with a little familiarity with the subject add a section on svchost malfunctions? My computer has a problem where all of a sudden one instance of svchost consumes 99% of CPU power, and I have no idea why or what to do about it. I know Wikipedia isn't a troubleshooting or a tech help site, but just a few sentences to help me understand why this happens would be great.

  • A user comment: To turn off Microsoft Update, go to WindowsUpdate, choose “Change settings” on the left hand side of the page, then at the bottom of the page choose “Disable Microsoft Update”. Please also look at MS KB article KB916089 for some related information that may be helpful. I downloaded this hot fix and it made no difference on my system. [1]

[edit] What?

Is this supposed to be an encyclopedia entry or a tech manual one? This entry is not written in coherent language consistent with an encyclopedia. I understand what the authors mean, I think, but it is not at all clear. Waste of time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.140.187 (talk) 14:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
