SVCHOST.EXE spikes system

[brettums]

I just did a clean install of XP w/ SP2

I wasn't able to finish patches due to system lock ups.....
I did a HiJackthis and came up with the following log.

can anyone analyze this and tell me if malware is the issue.... I'm thinking yes because I'm unable to turn on my firewall via services, constatly tells me access denied when as admin or and system admin of the box.

Looks pretty clean to me.

I'm a bit suspicious of this one.

Is it something you wanted?

If the system is locking up - you may have some hardware issues?

Your firewall issue may have something to do with a lockup during an update?

Maybe an idea to run memtest86 and your HDD manufacturers diagnostics and if they come up clean - wipe the hard drive and start again. Don't connect to the internet until firewall and antimalware software up & running!

For your firewall issue, see MS-MVP Ramesh's discussion and fix here:

And stop using the internet until you have an active firewall!
