make sure it is SVCHOST.EXE

you can have more than one SVCHOST.EXE. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a group of services.

svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from .dll files.
To view the list of services that are running in svchost:
start-->>run-->>type CMD-->>OK-->> Type Tasklist /SVC, and then press ENTER.

make sure it should be svchost

and it must be a system process..

if its owner is logged in user..that means there is something wrong with your system

for better safety u can also run a hijackThis test and post your log file so that someone can help u
