svchost.exe, network service[s] dsl, bottleneck

I've found what the problem is, but it resets itself every time I boot the
machine.

in the task manager I have
svchost.exe network service 48-50%
svchost.exe network service 0%

The 1st one is the problem. It's acting like sticking a plug in a faucet. When
I delete that process through task manager it's like the dam burst. it shoots
from 700kbps or less to 3mbps instantly.

I've tried winsockxpfix.exe. I thought it cured the problem, but it just took a
bit longer to start messing things up.

Really need some help on this one.
 
Check Event Viewer for errors.

From a command prompt;
tasklist /svc
now match up the PID with the Image name found in Task Manager|Processes

If this is the same machine about which you were posting earlier, the
same advice goes: clean up the malware on the box. The behavior that
you are describing above is symptomatic of infestation.

Thanks. FWIW: I finally found the problem, but have no idea how it got that
way.

I have a NEW super fast DVD drive, and I suspect it may be a bit too fast to
install old CD stuff accurately. The 1st one I had actually exploded an old CD
inside the drive.

Anyway's maybe you can check your own services and get back to me on this.

I found the problem. the dns cache service was set to automatic. What is your
dns client set to auto or manual ? You can find it under DNS Client in the
services.

I put it to manual, and I'm back at 3mbps.
I do believe what I did is the same as turning it off, Not real sure that's a
good idea. but it's a better idea than taking 15 minutes per page to load on a
3mbps DSL connection huh ?
That dns cache seemed to slowing things to about 300 bps or less. I recall 300
bps, I could type faster than that.
 
This link may help.

Which means there may be something else causing the problem as I thought
something like that should have been automatic.
Now have to go thru all of them and see if any are out of whack.
Thanks..

Until you post your HijackThis log to an appropriate forum for review by an
expert (as suggest in your other thread here, 'Repair IE6", several times),
you can't rule out hijackware as the cause of your problem, Husky.

Actually I can because the network dnscache service running at 50% existed long
before I got the virus.

Plus the log only showed 3 unknowns, and I knew what 2 of the 3 were. That's
how removing that 1 was such a simple fix.
