Microsoft Update causes 100 percent cpu usage.

I installed microsoft update, which covers all microsft products, caused one of my svchosts to go to 100 percent cpu usage. This was crazy. I would go to the microsoft update site and would press express and I did custom. This left me with now way to update my system. The site went into an endless loop and crashed my browser.

To fix the problem

I had to load the microsoft update site. I would then goto changes and would uncheck the very bottem box which stated something like to uninstall microsoft update and revert to windows update.

this fixed my problem completely.

I have pc-cillin installed and no problems with viruses, spyware, or malware.

I hope this gets look into

AMD 3200+
Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe
Ati all-in-wonder radeon 9800
Corsair twinx 2gb

Actually, it may be a recent update that causes this. I had never experienced this before tonight. Really brought my laptop to a standstill.
