win xp too slow

Hello experts,
One of our pc is a pentium 4  2.40 ghz 1.99 Gb Ram
it is working with win xp
in the last fw weeks it started to slow down all applications.

I have discovered there is a svhost.exe process that starts up on its own and uses 96% of CPU...

When I stop manually the process speed comes back but then it will start on its own.
This pc has had XP fully reinstalled a week ago
its using sp3

But the problem is still there...
Please your support on this.

Kind regards,

if you check the properties of the svchost it is most likely connected with your automatic updates. Try installing the newest windows installer 4.5. as a temp solution you could disable the autmatic update service but remember to do your windows updates manually. you could also try reinstalling sp3.
