Hello,
Use the following article to help identify what the additional process that
is running in the hosted session by svchost.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314056
Each instance of Svchost can be running one or more processes. The article
explains how to see what it running in each instance, which should help in
identifying what is casuing the issue.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
