Windows Svchost Information
---------------------------

When a svchost.exe instance is misbehaving isolate the 
services inside it and see which individual service is being
troublesome.

"tasklist /svc" can be used to show which services each svchost.exe
is running.

Issue the following command:

    sc config wuauserv type= own

   (Be sure to include the space between "type=" and "own" )

This tells the service manager to put windows update service (WUAUserv) 
into its own hosting process--a new/separate instance of svchost.exe

Another service that can be implicated in updates is the "BITS" 
service.  You may need to give the same command to isolate it also.
