You should not kill svhost. It is a system process.

Hi Amit,

Svchost.exe is a normal system process, however there is also a virus that
uses this name. Open Windows Explorer to C:\Windows\System32\Wins, see if
there is a file by that name here. If so, then you are infected.

Perhaps it is your use of ALL CAPITALS that is slowing
down your computer.
