More info?)
I currently have seven svchost,exe processes running. This more than
normal but of no concern.
For further information about Process Explorer see here:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml
To ascertain which service is causing the
problem select the svchost producing the high CPU usage, right click,
select Properties, Services. Note there are the full names and some
explanation of what each service does.
You will find further information on Services here:
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
To trace the particular Service involved you need to turn off each
service in turn and then restore it noting what effect it has on CPU
usage. However, you need to take care and watch what other Services are
dependent on that service. When you click on the Dependencies tab allow
it a little time to display the information.

Hope this helps.

You can use Process Explorer instead of Task Manger if the activity of
one svchost.exe process gives cause for concern.
