- FYI - I had two computer drive me crazy over the past week. I knew
something was wierd when it happened on both on the same day.
I think I found the problem. Just be aware in case this happens to you too. - m

User’s computer exhibited the following symptoms today:
1. System would boot fine, and work without any problems when offline
2. As soon as you connected it to the internet you would see a
drastic spike in CPU usage, mainly caused by the svchost.exe process.
3. The CPU usage would spike up to 100% and stay there making the machine unbearably slow
4. Scanning with Symantec NIS 2007, Spybot and Windows Defender did not find any viruses or spyware
5. Examining the running processes with Sysinternals Process Explorer
and HijackThis did not show any suspicious behavior
Apparently this is a very common issue and few people have a solution
for it. Because so many different services are dependent on svchost.exe
there is no catch-all solutions. But I did find “a solution”.

If you can't get through (I had a tough time) here's a mirrored alternative.
You might want to bookmark it for later use. As for me, Hell, I never
knew there was a difference between a Microsoft and a Windows update.
