Microsoft fixed the SVCHOST vulnerability to solve the CPU utilization problem.

 

SVCHOST is a process in Microsoft's operating system. Microsoft's official explanation is that the SVCHOST process is the name of the general host process of the Service running from the dynamic link library (DLL. This program is very important to the normal operation of the system and cannot be terminated. Previously, this process encountered a vulnerability that plagued many users for several months. This vulnerability caused high CPU utilization during the operation of the XP system. Microsoft tried to fix this vulnerability in March, but it was not successful. Microsoft has announced that it will continue to work hard to fix the vulnerability.

Recently, Microsoft released a series of updates for its products, including Windows XP. According to a report from WindowsITPro, these updates fix the SVCHOST process vulnerability on XP and solve the high CPU utilization problem. Dustin Childs, the director of Microsoft's trusted computing department, issued a statement:

"On Tuesday, Microsoft did not push updates for new ie browsers. This is because it reduces the time spent checking for updates to improve user experience. This action is purely intended to improve performance without affecting user security ."

As we get closer and closer in April 8, there may be fewer and fewer updates. Although Microsoft's MSE anti-malware signature and engine update for XP was extended to July 2015, many anti-virus software companies have said they will continue to extend support for XP, but the vulnerability still exists, users may face security issues when using the operating system. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade the operating system to Windows 7 or Windows 8 as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary losses.
