Hey guys , 

 

There is a service that is making my cpu run at 50% avg. all the time and my ram idling at 4.5 gigs . Its named svchost.exe (netsvcs) . I think its a virus . I tried MalwareBytes anit malware and it didn't work 

 

Any help removing it ?

I did this , went ahead to stop the first service , and it did stop the ram chocking and cpu draw , but there were about 10 other services highlighted that stoped roght after I stoped the forst one . I did a scan with hitman pro . even tho I have no license , it detected something in internet temp file under user local . Could remove it coz no license .

You could try to scan/nuke it with Malwarebytes.

svchost can be a number of processes. this could be caused by windows update typically but it can be found by other means. download process explorer and hover over svchost to see what's causing the problem.
