100% CPU being used, looks like culprit svchost.exe, please review HJT log

I am having a very very severe problem with a client's computer. He came in one day to use it and it started running very slowly. The newest version of McAfee AV/firewall, installed and nothing showing up in those logs as being removed or problematic. I thought it might just be junk so I used Spybot SD to remove some junk startup items. Still the same problem--when restarting, or any time running the computer svchost.exe dominates the CPU and takes it up to 100%. I was able to get it to go down a couple of times by ending (just trying to see which one was doing it) and then it spikes right back up. Now I can't get it to go back down whatsoever. I REALLY need to have this up and running by the end of the day today. I have done Spybot scans and all I get are cookies, nothing severe. I did another full scan of McAfee AV and didn't turn up anything new. I am currently running Panda Scan online version to see if there is anything else that I can do.

I understand that a Malicious process may be running under svchost.exe, but I don't know which one it is. I hope that this is a pretty easy fix--reformatting is not really an option, by the way, because I know that would be pretty easy otherwise.

Here is a Hijack This log that I just ran:

Why would Automatic Updates be causing this? There is no yellow shield in the tray area. Please advise ASAP.

Thanks.
I have ProcExp. Is there a way to export that log to post here?
In the past Automatic Updates has had problems when scanning the local system to see what updates might be needed - the presence of Office was a contributory factor I believe.  This was supposedly fixed several times with various hotfixes/patches but I've no idea whether those updates have been installed on the system.  If you disable AU and reboot you can rule this out pretty quickly.

PS:  You will not see a yellow shield until it has finished looking to see if updatesare needed and then only if updates are requuired.
Okay, for my info, what is the name of the process that does the updates? I believe that it is up to date. It has SP2 XPP and all updates are current. They are now set to download at 3 AM each morning. I am not on location anymore, but I will remote into the machine and restart and then let you know right away if that does the trick. What else do you suggest if that does not work?
I confess I cannot be sure but I believe that ProcExp is more for real-time monitoring rather than logging.

Is there no instance of svchost.exe that jumps out at you by using high CPU cycles?

If you move your mouse over the 'svchost.exe' consuming all your cycles a tool-tip should appear telling you which services are running within it.
There is an instance--I will get back with you in a few minutes after I am able to do the restart and rule out automatic updates. Do you know why this would have just happened overnight? There were no programs opened, no bad emails, nothing. He doesn't even browse the web--just Outlook, Quicken and Word.
Stop "Automatic Updates": net stop "Automatic Updates"
Set "Automatic Updates" to disabled: sc config "wuauserv" start= disabled

Alternatively you can make the changes through the Services snap-in.  
No new software installed recently?

Does the user suspend/hibernate the computer or do they always choose shutdown?  Had the computer restarted overnight following a patch installation?
The computer has not been restarted--in fact it almost never gets shut off. It's actually a Inspiron 300m laptop in a docking station. The only time he turns it off is when he undocks and takes it between his two houses and then he gets there and places it in the other dock.

Here's something else very odd--a new printer showed up yesterday and it was a "automatic" network printer on another computer. It set itself and default. I changed it back to the regular default and this new printer that doens't really exist keeps taking over as default.
"The computer has not been restarted--in fact it almost never gets shut off... ...The only time he turns it off is when he undocks and takes it between his two houses and then he gets there and places it in the other dock."
And the laptop is left on overnight in the docking station?

Does it get put into stand-by, hibernate or shut down when he moves it?  For example the laptop I am working on rarely gets shut down but is put into stand-by regularly as I move it between work and home.


The laptop automatically installed itself without the user or an administrator telling it to??  What is the make and model of the printer that appeared?
Sorry that last bit should have read:

The laptop automatically installed ^a printer^ without the user or an administrator telling it to??  What is the make and model of the printer that appeared?
The laptop actually gets turned off and then taken out of the docking station. It is not put on Standby when it is taken out. The printer is an HP Officejet 5600.
Looking at the laptop what port does the HP Officejet 5600 try to use?  Does it use a local port?  (USB; DOT4; TCP/IP)
Okay that did not make any different, Auto Updates I mean. Here is a log on Process Explorer under svchost.exe:

Is that a high number to DLL's to be running under that process? I tried the other instances of SVCHOST.exe but but they are all showing the same, so there must just be one.

It seems to be taking up the most memory of everything in Task Manager, so it looks like it must be something inside it. Sorry to be such a pain--just really want to get this taken care of.

I am getting ready to run out to a meeting for a couple of hours. I will keep apprised as to the posts on my Blackberry while I'm out and try to respond appropriately. Thanks again for you quick help!!
Very sorry Vee_Mod. Can you please leave these on here since I am already working with someone who seems competent? In the future I will utilize that feature; I was previously unaware that it existed. Thanks.
I'm happy to follow the question if it moves zones.

@lanehart:  the more eyes the better - I'm not an expert when it comes to HJ logs (although nothing jumps out at me so far)
Okay, I am back from the meeting now and ready to get back in to this.
Also, in Process Explorer, double-click "explorer.exe", click the "Services" tab, and list the services here.
To dig in and figure out what is going on, you could use the Sysinternals tool to it's full intention.
1. Install the debugging tools from windows.
      http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
2. Make a new folder called c:\websymbols
3. Start Process Explorer / Options / Configure Symbols
      dbghelp.dll Path and brows to
            C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\dbghelp.dll
      Symbal Path and paste in
            srv*c:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

4. Double Click on the svchost.exe experiencing the problem.
5. Click on the Threads Tab
6. Watch this Screen for the line that has High CPU
7. Double Click on Line and view the 'Stack for thread #' Window
8. Hold down shift key and click on the largest number (expand the window if you have to)
9. Click copy
10. Paste the results into this thread and the %CPU it was taking.
I have attached a file of the Explorer.exe processes. I will post back in a couple of minutes with the last expert's suggestion. Very oddly, after walking away for a few hours the CPU time is back under control. How could this be explained? Please stay tuned and let me know what the possible cause could be. Thanks again

Oops, I meant to say "svchost.exe":
Also, in Process Explorer, double-click the "svchost.exe" that's using up the most CPU, click the "Services" tab, and list the services here.
And once you double click SVCHOST.EXE, there will be another module using the CPU... Double click that one and paste the call stack here......
Okay guys...I have been thinking about this for several days. The problem is now solved, unfortunately I don't know exactly which fix solved it. Perhaps, even, there there multiple fixes that solved it! It may have had something to do with reinstalling McAfee...but again I am not sure.
This is my first post since joining a few days ago.
I solved my issue using a lot of the steps provided here and one additional, so I figured I would pass on.

Issue:
svchost.exe spikes the CPU to 100% every time I open Disk Management.  The screen will say "connecting to logical disk manager", but never does anything.

Resolution:
I downloaded the Process Explorer app mention above and ran it while I tried to access Disk Management.  I clicked on the svchost.exe that was causing the spike so I would list the services it was running.  Logical Disk Manager [dmserver] was part of this process tree, so I made the conclusion it was causing my problem.  Next I opened a command prompt, ran sfc /scannow and inserted Server 2003 R2.  It ran through, replaced 4 .dlls and my server has been working fine since.
