Problem with growing svchost.exe process

Craphead posted a topic in Troubleshooting and Problems

Hi, I have a pretty odd problem using AirVPN on Windows7, it seems always when I'm running my torrent client (uTorrent) over VPN an svchost.exe starts growing to an ungodly amount of RAM space, depending on how long the torrent client is running it can get way over 1GB. Things are getting really annoying when I want to shut down the VPN software or power off the computer, the svchost in question starts consuming all available CPU power so the system almost freezes. During this time it's practically imposssible to do anyhting. After a while, maybe something like 10 minutes, the process will finally go back to normal size and the CPU usage also goes back to normal. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and what can be done to avoid this? Thanks in advance.
