SP2 RC2

[user]

Ever since I got SP2 RC2 on my computer, the system has been eating most of
my bandwidth. I uninstalled RC2 and am still having this problem. I have
Automatic Updates turned off and I even have the Automatic Updates service
and the BITS service turned off, but Windows still insists on taking up most
of my bandwith (56k modem... not fun).

What can I do to fix this problem?

(It is definitely a Windows service that is causing this because if I close
the right SVCHOST.EXE in the process list, it stops and I can reclaim my
bandwidth)

First, you should be posting this to an SP2 newsgroup.

Second, the fact you close an SVCHOST.exe service that ends the issue does
not mean the service is the issue. It's quite possible that something else
on your system is the source and as a result is causing this issue with the
service, in other words it is manifesting this way.

You should start by running a virus scan on your system and also check for
any malware. Make sure you AV is up to date and run a scan also, download,
install and run Ad Aware, www.lavasoftusa.com.

If that fails to resolve it, post your problem to SP2 beta groups.
