svchost.exe - baring access to Chrome
Running Windows XP and accessing the web through Google Chrome, I am finding that when I try to browse in Chrome and enter a web address, Chrome won't access the new page. It will via a Google search however.
When I go to Task manager I can see 90% of processing being taken up with svchost.exe.
If I stop the process this frees up Chrome and everything works fine.
I have repeat this exercise every time I start the machine.
Is the svchost.exe some sort of trojan or virus, and if so how can I kill it off. I've done a malwarebytes sweep and it hasn't flagged any problems up.
Anyone else experienced this, or have any solutions?
