    Hi lads,
    Basically from last night my laptop (Dell Vostro) is constantly running at 100% cpu and this is due to svchost.exe process. There are 2 svchost.exe running, one under user local and system taking up the whole cpu.
    Even when I try to shut down the laptop is freezes at the logging off stage.
    I'v ran 2 virus scans and yet no luck in finding any virus/malware.The thing is I need my laptop for work, and Im out giging Saturday. Should I bring it to a shop and try and get it sorted or is there anything I do myself in fixing it.

    Any help appreciated, Thanks.
