Searchprotocolhost Is Consuming CPU?
Mar 12, 2012
On a windows7 64bit HP laptop, I have ESET Smart Security and I'm behind a router, also use spybot and malware bytes to check out system on a regular basis. I have this problem recently where the windows search service seems to constantly increase cpu usage until my memory is low. I have 8gb of Ram installed and I have just disabled all indexing and Windows search service. However I would like to be able to enable the indexing again and I feel like there might be some malware that is evading malware bytes and eset. I noticed that when I downloaded GMER rootkit revealer and some Nirsoft utilities last week that this began to happen. I have heard that Nirsoft tools are safe so I downloaded a bunch of them to check out my registry and since then I have had this cpu process and memory problem. I have ran hijackthis but i don't see anything superdifferent about my log.I would like to post my log somewhere and have some more people check it out. Where can i do this on this site?

My PC has started running very slowly and I have narrowed this down to SVCHost running at 100% cpu in the task manager. Using Process Explorer I can see that this process is hosting Power, PlugnPlay and DCOMLaunch services.
I have run several anti-virus applications including malwarebytes and nothing was found.

I find that one instance of svchost.exe consistently consumes around 200MB of RAM. I find this to be a problem at times as I do a lot of memory intensive work including Photoshop, etc. I've attached a screenshot showing the services attached to this particular process.
Any idea which of these services might be a likely culprit? Are there any I can safely disable to free up some RAM? 200MB seems quite high for that.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1. The RAM is 2 GB DDR 3 1333 MHz. for some reason when the system starts itīs already consuming the 60 - 65% of the RAM. The programs that start with the OS are KAV 6 and Internet Download Manager. So it should not be consuming that amount of memory. I canīt buy more RAM in this moment, so what can i do?

After I restart either of my Dell laptops which both run MobileMe (Apples' email/calendar sync tool used with iphones/pads) I notice a huge slowdown in performance and applesyncnotifier.exe is usually consuming 50% of my dual core processor (I assume this is the max it can grab).I've seen all kinds of posts on how to remedy (kill the applesync process, place an eventlog trigger to kill process etc etc) but nothing that's actually resolved the problem. Oddly killing the process seems to have no effect on the software, which seems to run/sync ok regardless.Apple stated a few times to change the sync period from 'automatic' to daily or some other timeframe, but this doesnt seem to solve things, just mitigate a little.It's a real pain having to kill this PID - of course it may well be ropey software, but I've upgraded MobileMe a couple of times and no change. Also I'd expect the problem to occur a lot more often out there than it seems to.

It all starts when i try to open one flv video downloaded from you tube to my desktop.when i try to open it in VLC player.it doesn't do anything ,laptop goes hang.I checked my task manager and found that explorer.exe is consuming 100 % of cpu .I exit my explorer by endprocess and later on on activate from new task.I some how manged to delete that file. But now problem is that when i try to open some video file,the moment i right click the file ,explorer.axe goes 100 percent and system hangs.Now every time i have to exit explorer when this happens.Now I am gone mad with this and want to get rid from this . I have found many remedies from net ,but didnt make it all success.
