Handling BIG mixes

[coreyb]

Snagged myself a spike right now, and there's all sorts of processes popping in and out of the resource monitor:

svchost.exe(netsvcs)
svchost.exe(LocalServicePeerNet)
saUpd.exe
svchost.exe(LocalServiceNetworkRestricted)
mcsacore.exe


Thing is...even when the combined total activity drops down to below 20,000 b/sec and with no more than 3 processes, the spike is still affecting the computer.

Does any of this mean anything?

If they keep popping up, have you tried running a virus scan? What I remember from the PC days is that the svchost is essential to running Windows, but also many viruses/trojans/worms/whatevs used it to do some network traffic.
