Hi, I had the same problem on a server and we solve deleting and re-creating Removable Storage database. The problem was a services binding to svchost services. Microsoft has a tool that shows what service are running at each instance of svchost Osvaldo Casagrande Gerente de Servicios DiviServ SA ocasagrande () diviserv com Asuncion - Paraguay 595-21-613828/9 DiviServ SA - Keeping your IT working 7x24 DiviServ SA - Microsoft Gold Partner for Support and Services Protected by Symantec Antivirus -----Mensaje original----- De: Kris Wingard [mailto:krisw () csrinc com] Enviado el: Lunes, 01 de Diciembre de 2003 01:31 p.m. Para: Giancarlo Ballestracci - IT & Technical Support CC: security-basics () securityfocus com; focus-virus () securityfocus com Asunto: RE: Possible worm infection or something else? I would have to agree that you are having a driver conflict if it is ok in safe mode. Have you tried selective startup to troubleshoot from that angle? -----Original Message----- From: Firefly Digital Media [mailto:brian () fireflydigitalmedia com] Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 6:48 PM To: Giancarlo Ballestracci - IT & Technical Support Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com; focus-virus () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Possible worm infection or something else? I had the same problem with an XP machine, it ended up being junky drivers. (HP junk) Is your system in question a Hewlett Packard?

Importance: High Hi The Group, I hope someone get me a good advice about this problem. I have a notebook with multiboot startup (2 Win2k, 1 WinXP). On the first partition Win2k, svchost.exe take the 100% of CPU's resources. The system is regularly patched (SP4 and all the latest Hot Fixes), personal firewall and Antivirus clients updated. Scans with Symantec and Trend Micro have nothing found. I've tried to shut down all the services possible, without good result. I've also removed the last six applications installed on: nothing happen. Only in safe mode (clear...), the CPU work fine. It's possible that a (new) worm sleep inside the client? Initially, I have thought about a Blaster Worm... I've checked also the system registry, but nothing strange in on RUN key of LOCAL MACHINE. Anybody can light me? Thanks in advance Giancarlo IT Manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
