svchost.exe

[Bob]

When I boot the PC the system is bogged down by one of
the svchost processes. Processor is running near
capacity. When I go to taskmanager and kill the svchost
that is causing it everything is fine. I found the
article from microsoft on going to CMD typing
Tasklist/svc but the dos prompt says tasklist is not a
recognized batch file. How can I find out what is running
in this svchost or causing it to chew up memory?
Thanks!

svchost.exe is either a normal windows process or a
virus!!!! If your processor is at or near 100% then you
have the virus!! Do you have an updated anti-virus
program???

Yes I have Norton and its updated. I ran it and there
were no viruses. However it does appear to behave like
one. I am running win xp sp1
I'll take a look at the task list descriptions and kill
any suspects.
Would another program other than Norton be able to find
the but?
