I just rebuilt a PC at home and I'm having an issue when I dial in to my ISP. once I connect within 2-3 minutes I look at Task Manager and have a svchost.exe process running that is s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up 98% of the processor. When I disconnect it still stays there and I need to reboot to clear it.

Tried a new modem from a different manufacturer w/ different drivers and get the same thing. I'm running Win 2k on it w/ SP 4. the only apps loaded are IE 6 sp1, Office XP sp 2, and McAfee Viruscan 8.

When the Processor is pegged there is no activity on the modem so its not something trying to download anything on the PC.

Any help would be appreciated....thanx
