That version is not compatible with XP (see Aventail's web site for a notice on this). All they say is that certain older versions of Aventail will cause a 'system failure' -- no other assistance is provided. I've been running a newer version of Aventail is success on XP. For a longer discussion of this issue, you can see a msg thread on www.k7v.com and search for svchost.

It seems that rebooting the server solved problem. (O.s. = W2k without any service pack, 3 GB RAM, 4 CPUs) My question is: can I expect recurrence of the trouble?

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Services.exe, svchosts.exe using 100% cpu Thursday, August 1, 2002 at 11:47 am Posted by RH Music (2 messages posted) OK, so I ran into this problem on my brand-new Windows 2K system. Here's what I found out: 1) Be sure to install the "Support Tools" from your Windows 2K CD onto your system. It was not an option which I could install from the standard AutoPlay installation dialog, instead, you need to navigate down to the SUPPORT\TOOLS sub-directory and click on Setup.exe. 2) Go to the task manager and determine which copy of svchosts.exe is using up all the memory. Write down the PID of the process. 3) From a command-line shell, run: tlist -s This will show all processes running on the machine, and *further* will show which services are running inside each svchosts.exe process. This should help you narrow down the problem a bit. 4) On my machine, I noticed that there was only a single service running on the svchosts.exe process which was hogging all of memory, and it was RPCSS. I have since rebooted the machine and the problem went away, but if it continues to be a problem, I've noticed that Microsoft has a hotfix (#17) for RPCSS memory leak problems on their website, and so I'll try that. 5) Finally, there may be a way, via registry monkeying, for you to launch many svchosts.exe server processes, and choose exactly which services run on each. Then you could use the procedure above to determine exactly which service is causing your problems and then go from there. Good luck.

After some minutes explorer.exe coplains on low virtual memory and holds the whole system. After reading your posting my primary candidate causing this problem is Aventail Connect V3.2.1. After renaming c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe by use of the recovery console my system boots without automatic hold after minutes. Then I renamed svchost.exe back to it's original name, deinstalled Aventail Connect, rebooted the system and everthing was ok again... !

I recently had this problem. Please I am personally trying to crack down on who installed this on my system. What happens is somehow it is placed in the windows\system32\svchosts.exe on your computer it is told to run at startup in your systems registry. To remove it, do a search for all svchosts.exe files on your computer and search the registry for it as well. It will be a hidden file so make sure you tell it to look for hidden files. This program, although altered by many, sends out information toa pre-set address over the interenet. For example before removing mine I did a little detective work and found out that it was sending 1k packets to raptor.guild1337.com on port 7070. Either way, remove it immediatly from your system.
