What I meant was for you to check which services running as/under svchost,
like this one (note the top right corner of the description) were active, if any of them aren't necessary for you, try turning those off, and see whether the problem is still there.
With any luck, it's one of the unnecessary ones that is giving you issues.
And yes, chewy, multiple instances of svchost isn't strange, a huge amount of them is tho' (I seldom see more than four, altho' 6 is ok, I reckon), and to compound the issue,
viruses have been known to run services masked as svchost.exe (or at least something like "scvhost.exe"), from odd locations.
That's why I wanted him to count them, and check where they were running from
