[QUOTE="Fred Caughlin, post: 434134, member: 42043"] Do you have a scan I can do to fix this? Also if you can I would sure like to know where exactly this came from. It is not easy to understand in that area for me as I used normal sites and had not done any other web surfing or downloads. I am attaching the FRST and Addition logs, but they may not show anything about the svchost process when it goes wild. Maybe somehow the processes need to be scanned when the one is going crazy with the memory. Can anything be deciphered if I check “Go to Services” on the svchost process and look at those specifics prior to or when the process(es) is going crazy? Ultimately I am intending to do a clean install of W7 on this to tune it up and get rid of all of the Dell stuff I don’t want. But I’d still like to get this all fixed up so I can make a backup disc of the original configuration and I don’t want that to include malware or a virus. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
