services.exe blocks my PC

Since this morning my PC is practically blocked regularly for 30 sec
each minute!
Checking with Process Explorer I found out that the prog Services.exe
uses nearly 100% of CPU during this time.
No other program uses more than 10%
Can somebody be so kind and help me to solve this problem?

Thank you Dave,
for the Service.exe with tlist I found:
500 SERVICES.EXE Svcs:
Browser,Dhcp,dmserver,Dnscache,Eventlog,lanmanserver,lanmanworkstation,LmHosts,Messenger,PlugPlay,ProtectedStoage,seclogon,TrkWks,Wmi

But now what should I do?
Google say that dmserver may be a trojan. But it is exactly equal to an
older backupped file.

What do you mean by "match up the PID = PID in Task Manager|Processes"?
There are a few programs which appear in Processes and not in TLIST, but
this may be due to the fact that I didn't start the 2 progs at the same
time.
Disable all services? Shurely not advisable!
Horst
 
No, no need to disable anything at this point. Try stopping some of them and
check the effect after each one. (Start|Run|services.msc) Maybe in this
order. Looks like you probably don't want the first one anyway.

dmserver
TrkWks,
Messenger,
Browser,
Dhcp,
Dnscache,
LmHosts,
lanmanserver,
lanmanworkstation,
Wmi

Well, I found the cause of the problem: DNScache.
But now what should I do?
I couldn't find anywhere the name of the file(s) which run this service.
If I knew their name I could restore them from older backups.
Can you please help me?
Horst
 
I doubt that's the problem. Did you get rid of the malware? You might also
ask here about DNS. If the problem persists then I would suspect the
heartbeat is improper DNS configuration.

microsoft.public.win2000.dns

Dear Dave,
thank you for your advice.
I finally found that the cause of the malfunction was a problem in the
router.
I resetted it and the problem disappeared!
Thank you again
