Prakash,
Which instance of svchost is the problem? Svchost runs multiple copies.
Svchost.exe is a general purpose process that Microsoft provides to run various
services (background tasks) that let you use the various features of Windows.
If you want to know more about the many processes running on your computer, such
as svchost, get Process Explorer (free) from
<
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml>. Provides way more
information than Task Manager. You can look at any process and see what modules
it contains, and who wrote or distributed each module. For instances of
svchost.exe, you can see what services each provides.
There are several known situations that can be diagnosed by identifying the
services provided by the problem instance of svchost. Look under Properties -
Services, and list the entries here.
For a good reference to the many system services, see
