SVChost takes over CPU

In task manager, 6 instances of the SVChost process are
running. Once in a while one of these processes will
start to take over >90% CPU, and wont stop. I know that
SVChost is a Windows process, but I doubt it's supposed
to take over like that. Only restarting will sove the
problem. Adaware, Spybot, and Windows AntiSpyware do not
detect any problem. --Any ideas of how to get rid of this?

Hi

What antivirus program are you running ?

Try Housecall if it find something.

Choose "new" scan, if you are on SP2 you must also
permit Trendmicros ActiveX module to run in information bar.
