How to Stop svchost.exe High CPU Usage

I’m sure you’ve been in a situation like this: you’re working on your computer and enjoying yourself when all of a sudden it becomes agonizingly slow and even starts freezing up. You press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open the Task Manager, click on the Processes tab,  and see that there are several instances of svchost.exe running and one of them is using up 90% - 100% of CPU! Some people will think: “OMG! My computer’s got a virus!!!”. Well, that might be true, because some malware masks itself as svchost, but most likely it’s just Windows being Windows.

Viewsonic details dual-boot Android, Windows-based tablet

ViewSonic at IFA today filled in many of the details surrounding its dual-booting ViewPad tablet. Now dubbed the ViewPad 100, the 10-inch slate runs on a 1.66GHz Atom and uses either Windows 7 or the now old Android 1.6; either side appears to use a reference design but supports multi-touch. It uses just a 16GB solid-state drive, but an SDHC card slot provides most of the bulk storage.

Many of the other details are similar to those of a current netbook. The ViewPad outputs at a native 1024x600 display and holds 1GB of DDR3 memory. On top of Android-friendly features like Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi, it has more traditional netbook expansion that brings two USB ports, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and a VGA video output.

The ViewPad comes to the UK for £549 ($848) and will ship there as well as Europe in October. A US launch wasn't detailed, although most ViewSonic devices make their way to North America.
