Windows XP 2- Spy ware-svchost ??

Hi Guys

I had a Problem with SPY WARE, when I opened the Task Master, the CPU would show 98 to 100% usage. Svc host.exe System would be the one when I stopped the service, the CPU would go down to any where from 4% to 15%, when at this point every thing would work fine for a few minutes, then the Task master screen window would start to fill up. Then I would click on the task Master and the svc host exe again would be at 100%.

When I scrolled the Task Master there were 5 SVC host exe Systems and a SVC host exe Network Service. I have Cured the SPY WARE Problem ,I think??? so far it`s almost normal for at least the last 12 to 14 Hours. What are SVC host?? and How many are there supposed to be, if they should be there ??.

All the Best to All, and try to Keep it Clean

Not to worry, multiple instances of svchost are normal. It one of XP's basic services that handles many parts of the system.
