The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a
list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of
services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services permits better control
and easier debugging.
google it theres quite a pagies to read over.

It may be a virus as some pleb created one like this. Run adaware, ccleaner and a good virus scanner. All free, just google for them.
You may want to edit the registry, as svchost takes a lot of information from there, and if its full of junk it can slow things down.
