I did not say it could be. You are replying to something I did not say. You
just want to criticize; you are not trying to respond to what I am saying.
It is foolish for me to continue this.

svchost is documented and available for use by anyone, and is used by other
vendors as well as Microsoft.
I have the same problem. I've installed a new Norton 360, then uninstalled
it, then reinstalled it. I deleted Goodgle Desktop and Mozilla Firefox. I've
tried safe starting. Nothing seems to work except ending the svchst.exe
process, which then brings the CPU back to normal. Any idea what's going
wrong?

I have the exact same problem. I've installed a new Norton 360, then
uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. I deleted Goodgle Desktop and Mozilla
Firefox. I've tried safe starting. Nothing seems to work except ending the
svchst.exe process, which then brings the CPU back to normal. I don't know if
I'm doing any dame by ending the process. Any idea what's going wrong, and
what else I can try?

It would be helpful if you could post the Command Line of the svchost
process generating the excessive CPU usage. In Process Explorer place
cursor on Process and select Properties, Image.

I did what you said. When the free version of Uniblue didn't work, I
purchased the full version. It looks like I was charged TWICE for this
version, but everytime I run it, it says AGAIN to buy the full version.
What's going on? And of course, I can't reach any human.
Thanks,

A lot of the Uniblue software falls into the category of "not
recommended" e.g. RegistryBooster2, SpeedUpMyPC3.
What specifically have you installed?

I don't know what the Command Line is or how to find it. In Task Manager,
it's called SYSTEM. I see it in many places in different programs like i386,
Windows-system32, Windows-Prefetch.
I'm now going to go the Process Explorer site you recommended.
Thanks,

OK, I downloaded Process Explorer, and I also got Uniblue Registry Booster2.
although Uniblue said it fixed a bunch of things, it hasn't changed anything
yet. I don't know if Robert Lafayette has succeeded yet in solving his
problem.
In the Process Explorer window, I have Proc Explorer open. The 1st item
under the 1st svchost.exe is wmiprvse.exe, PID of 2312, Description is WMI.
The second is hpswp_clipbook.exe, PID of 3636, Description
Leo(ClipBookDB)-add on for Internet Explorer; this is probably from the new
HP all-in-one I installed, but turning it off doesn't change the problem.
The other svchost.exe files arealld described at Generic Host Porcess for
Win32 Services. So what do I do now? Is there someway of restarting Windows
without losing thousands of programs and files? Windows XP won't let me back
up even a day. I assume it's because I've uninstalled and reinstalled several
programs, including Norton 360 over the last few days.
If you have any good ideas, please share. This problem has already consumed
perhaps 20 hours of making changes.

I think I found the bad actor. It's one of the Win32 Services. Command line
is c:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe-k HPService. Does it seem like my problem
is the installation of the new HP printer?

The solution, until the bug is fixed by HP, is to Stop the service and
change the StartUp type from automatic to manual. The link which follows
describes how others have resolved the problem: http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/...readId=1101413
Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.
