Apparently there are some issues with the latest updates from Microsoft. We have not seen this in our environment but, some others are reporting this to SANS.
From SANS:
We received a couple emails today talking about the latest Microsoft Updates and the svchost service taking up 99% of CPU Utilization after applying them.
Is this isolated to a couple people, or is this more widespread? Then, if it is widespread, and you fixed it, how did you do it? Share your insight!
One of the other handlers pointed me to this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916089/. Take a look at that if you are affected.
