wuauclt svchost and 100% CPU usgage

Last month I mentioned Windows automatic update was maxing out the CPU on my computer after I installed PowerPoint 2007. It seems I'm not the only one dealing with the annoying issue. Here is a suggested workaround to the infamous svchost issue.

Also, here is another newsgroup thread talking about the issue that might be helpful to some.

Update: The workaround mentioned above does not prevent wuauclt and svchost from using 100% of the CPU but it does make the computer responsive again. Prior to applying the workaround the computer would be unusable for long periods of time.
