   svchost problem

   I have a problem in that svchost steals 100% of one of my cores while   
   supposedly looking at DNS cache. This happens every time I restart the   
   machine. Until I kill that process I can't get out onto the net.   
   Fortunately I have Process Explorer which makes killing the thread easy   
   but I would like to not have to do it. The references I found on google   
   refer to something back in 2007 or thereabouts whereas this has only   
   started in the last month, about three weeks after a reinstall.   
      
   Can someone tell me what I have to fix or set to stop this behaviour,   
   please?

   Personally, I think most sports fans are a little "gay". They'd   
   rather watch a bunch of sweaty guys jumping all over each other,   
   than, say fashion TV - where hot models walk down the runway.
