Download a utility called SIW. Look at the running process entry. Left clicking an entry will expand more details below to help clarify what that process is about. Find SIW below.

Info ...

If you take a close look at blackviper site www.blackviper.com you will see that svchost can host up to about 100 different processes. On my machine 5 to 8 instances of Svchost running at the same time is normal.
