(Edited to include to log !!)
I would be grateful for any thoughts concerning this.
Each time I connect via ADSL and then start up a web browser ( it happens wih Internet Exlorer but is worse if I use Firefox ) my pc gets bogged down due to svchost.exe consuming all the cpu.
It gets so bad that the only course of action has been to end the process tree for the offending svchost.exe process. ( Incidentally, am I doing the right thing here ? )
I attach a typical logfile, before having started a web browser.
Many thanks,
Paul
