Samurize causing constant 50% CPU usage

Has anyone else had a problem with Samurize causing svchost.exe to be at 50% constantly?

Running W7 64bit, if it helps.

I'm pretty sure it's Samurize causing this as it's the only new software I've installed/started using in the past 2 weeks.

1) Stop Samurize and make sure that the CPU usage drops. If it doesn't then it's not Samurize.

2) Check your Samurize config to make sure it's not updating something with a stupidly low interval.

Oh, my apologies for being a noob. Should have really tried your first suggestion before posting.

Seems it's not Samurize, I'll have an investigation... I went through all the processes and ended un-needed ones, and I still have the svchost at 50%.

Can't believe I didn't do the number one thing on the list of trouble shooting before jumping to conclusions, >.<

Get yourself a copy of Process Explorer, it'll tell you more about what svchost is doing than task manager will.
