Infamous CPU hogging problem

Teydis

Well ever since i began using 2k (happens in XP too which im currently using) i kept going.. man why does my computer take so damn long to let me click and open folders and programs etc. Since I am far from a noob in this subject.. i have figured the root and cause of it.

SVChost.exe -network service
service name: Dnscache

all these months i have just had it disabled but i feel i shouldnt procrastinate troubleshooting it anymore. Why does it hog my CPU? It can't be a virus.. ive been getting my comp scanned all the time and when i disconnected my network service (currently a wireless network via usb ethernet adapter) i started the process up and it still hogged my CPU processing. Need help!!

Here's my hijack file, and i already ran adaware, cwshredder, etc

Please upgrade to HijackThis version 1.98.2 and post a new log. Also, do not bump topics.

whoa, thats a windows service, if you remove you will make tour system reboot. You will most probably have 4 of them running, doing different things. They act as a buffer between read/write actions and file grabbing. I have 5 running, at 1936K, 3060K, 2296K, 16508K, 4624K. Good luck
