Started a couple of days ago. It makes couple of svchost.exe processes that eat a huge chunk of my resources. I have been trying everything to fix it and even formatted my computer and here it is again. Since the format, I found a web post by one of your members I guess regarding the same matter, written in a couple of steps. I followed them thoroughly but they didn't help. So, as at the end of the page was a note saying that if the steps didn't help, thread should be started on this forum. So here I am.

As mentioned before, I found a post by what I think is a member of yours, listing a few steps on how to remove svchost problem, but they didn't help, so I am starting a thread here. A couple of minutes before writing this, I tried to edit the permissions of the .exe file that is starting this process. At first I was denied access, then I edited the ownership of the file and edited the permissions after that. I think it didn't really solved anything as I still have many svchost processes runing with the top resource consumer eating 150mb of memory. One thing I noticed is that before I changed the permissions, a thing called TrustedInstaller had all the permissions of the .exe file and yesterday I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to remove TrustedInstaller as it appeared to be a malware.

Thank you for your reply, sir!

Well, I didn't remove it. I just renamed it. Should I get it back, I know how?

There was a process named TrustedInstaller and like the svchost consumed a lot of memory.
So if my pc isn't infected, then it's normal to have a few svchosts to consume 150~300 mb of memory each, right?

Thanks again!
 
If you have Windows Update running in background it could consume a lot of resources sometimes. You should return trusted installer.
 
I am getting trusted installer back then. The os was updating, as I formatted the pc earlier.

Thank you a lot, sir! It really did help!
