This process bothers me so often. It starts with no notice and it slows
down the system big time and I have no idea what it is.

All I know is every time my system gets very slow and I found this process
running and taking over 95% of CPU power...

Is it a virus? How can I stop it from running or get rid of?

Appreciate for you tip.
 
Harry,

No reference fround for Hlpsvc.exe in Google. (Whereas HelpSvc.exe is a legitimate Windows file, present in windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries folder)

I'd suggest you run a full system virus scan, and follow-up with spyware cleanup. See: http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.php
