Hi, I'm a bit new to all this forum stuff.......Could anyone help regards my svchost.exe problem? On start up, the cpu seems to spike to 100% usage and prevents any workings for about 10 to 15 mns. Have tried a hotfix that worked for about 2 days, and a friend of mine suggested that I format the hard drive......! is this wise?

Hello.

Could you follow the Prework link in my signature and post back with the logs?
