    Up until Friday, I was running Norton 2004 AV with Norton Internet Security. I uninstalled it and installed the newest version of NOD32. Since then, my tcpsvcs.exe consistently uses 100% of the cpu. I have tried adjusting every setting I can find and even disabling it. The only way I have gotten it to stop maxing it out is to uninstall NOD completely.

    Here's what I've done:
    1) uninstalled NAV
    2) uninstalled Norton Internet Security
    3) re-installed NOD32 (2.000.9) and did a live-update
    4) used registry cleaner to get rid of old reg keys
    5) ran netstat -a to see what was hogging all the cpu usage (nothing unusual)

    To continue working with it, I usually kill the process and everything goes back to normal.

    I have Window XP Home Sp1, 512 ram, AMD processor

    Any and all help is greatly appreciated, I'm beyond frustrated about this.

    Thank You

    Hi Capp:

    You may want to download the latest (2.12.3) which is currently only available through the web and see if it fixes your issue.

    After uninstalling any antivirus (or protocol dependent application) it is a good practice to run WinsockFix found here

    Drop us a note if it helps. ;)

    I fixed it...

    I do have version 2.12.3 installed.

    I checked my installed Windows Components, Networking Services, Simple TCP/IP and unchecked it. For some reason, my system had it installed. I removed it and everything is working wonderfully now.

    Thanks for your help...I really appreciate it.

    I installed and ran the WinSockFix and it hosed my system. It did it's thing, beeped at me and restarted my system. Now I can only boot to safe mode and I get an error "Svchost.exe cannot read memory...". I have tried using restore points, i have tried registry backups and I am at a loss. Does anybody else know a way to restore the settings of thiso_O

    I followed the steps in the link exactly and didn't accomplish a thing, so I dug a little deeper. Finally, the correct error log appeared in my system events. I had installed tcp/ip v.6 about a year ago to practice with it before it becomes relavent. (and forgot about it), when I ran the suggested winsockfix tool, it blew it out. Once it crashed, it crashed the svchost.exe that ran it and all the other services ran by that host. I went into services and started them all one-by-one with no probs, got to tcpipv6 and it crapped out killing all the others. I uninstalled, rebooted and it's never worked better.

    Thanks to everyone for all the help and maybe this will help someone in the future.
