Hi;
Over the weekend I got hit with the lsas.blaster virus. I used
malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware, and CCleaner and it appeared to remove the
infection. However, my pc is now a snail. I have an instance of
svchost.exe that is just churning - using up 93-99% cpu. Killing the
process forces a restart. Killing the child processes using Process
Explorer totally freezes the machine. When I start up in Safe mode, that
instance disappears. I'm stumped. How can I find out what is looping and
stop it from calling svchost.exe? I'd really hate to have to wipe the drive
and do a reinstall but I'm starting to think that it might be my only
alternative.
TIA for any help.

Hi;
I found the answer. It was a memory leak problem. Thanks anyway.
