To have more than one svchost.exe running is perfectly normal. If your computer is running slow, more than likely there is something running that you can not easily detect. I would try going to Control Panel/Administrative tools/Services to see if anything out of the ordinary is running as a service. Maybe try running "Hijack This" as well to see if it detects a possible hijack.

Plain malfunction, this is a program internal to the working of Windows.

Buy a new computer.
svchost.exe is a generic name for a service your running. Most of the time it's at 0%, maybe u have conflicting programs.

Try AVG free antivirus and also Trendmicro's Housecall. Housecall must be run in Internet Explorer though.
