My sons computer over the past 4 days has been showing svchost proccess at 100% in windows task manager. I have read loads of posts on here about svchost but none have covered my situation. I have tried ProcessExplorer and this shows the file as being ibm00001.dll which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?
 
@MarcLister

Thanks for that info. I have a problem with my antivirus as it wasn't working properly after the file was found so i uninstalled it and tried to install it agin but it wouldn't now i have no anti virus to check it with.

@Richdog

I do always google the files before posting but came to no success. I have already Disabled system restore, emptied temporary files. I would use an online virus scanner but would not be able to do this in safe mode as i don't know how and in normal mode my cpu would be at 100% making it take forever.

Any other suggestions or ways around this are much appreciated.
 
Thanks for all your help guys. I couldn't get online in safe mode as my pc wouldn't let me use the network. I couldn't delete the file in safe mode as it said it was being used. I decided just to back up needed files and done a fresh install, now everything is fine.Thanks again.:)
 
Thanks for the tip, but i did try that and it still wouldn't let me. I think it may be because my connection is wireless and the drivers may not be there in safe mode. Or am i wrong?
