michaeljohn,

The leeching of svchost.exe is a common issue for PC's. It more or less dehabilitied my laptop last Fall. The issue could be due to a million reasons: virus, simple maintenance or trojan.

This site might help for svchost.exe specifically:

Be careful what you download there. In the past I've gotten quite a few germs downloading utilities from their site. Now I'd mainly look up utilities and try and find them from alternate sources.
