Greetings. Although I've maintained all M$ patches/updates, their flawed RPC service has left a door open on my system and I have a svchost process (RPCSS) running wild and burning up 99% of my cpu cycles. I've repatched to no avail. Is patching supposed to plug all the holes and effectively "fix" the PC? I'm trying to to isolate and kill the intruder (is there one?) but anti-trojan software will take days to run. I can always resort to dropping the bomb on the drive and re-installing but that's my LAST resort. Any of you OS maniacs/hackers have any other options I can try before I employ the "last resort"? Any help/input is appreciated. Regards.
