I'm having an issue with a runaway spawned process, svchost, that is eating up my CPU. I am using Windows XP SP3. I used ProcessExplorer and it determined that the svchost is spawned to launch the Windows automatic updater process, wuauclt.exe. I checked with Microsoft and there is a KB article and update, #927891. I tried to install it but it said that it's included in SP2, so I already have it. Someone on another forum reported this, ran MalwareBytes Anti-Rootkit and found infections. I tried it but it found nothing.
Any suggestions? I'm doing a full security sweep but this is a Windows re-installation just a few weeks ago.
