Spam, perhaps

Right here....

When someone joins a site and has no activity other than to post an obscure query of no tacit relevance to anything it serves nothing other than to provide a place holder for spamming to follow.

have this occasionally, too - always in conjunction with a manual start of windows update (on win7). after the whole ul/dl of checking my current system is done a list of available updates should be presented but once in a while it doesn't do this. instead winupdate goes static and one svchost.exe runs one core @ 100% - for hours! if I manually kill it the internet-connection goes along with it - but that is the only way to actually unlock the core; closing winupdate etc won't do anything.

It seems like my system is extremely slow due to the svchost consuming 40% of CPU. May be a clean install?

Lol. Just waiting for the follow-up message some time from now: 'I fixed my svchost high cpu usage problem by installing <name of some malware/adware ridden application> which you can download from <spam spam spam spam>!'

Then again, I might be wrong. Jafo is not 100% sure either, or he would have solved the problem already.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

AHHAHAHAAHHAHA!

I didn't know bots worked in pairs now. Live and learn.
