6 svchost.exe processes are normal coz the services.exe is used by windows to host various windows services.but they dont have high cpu usage.this cud be malicious program comouflaging itself as svchost. use procexp tool from Microsoft sysinternals (free download) to find out the paths of all svchost.all shoul be c:\windows\system32. Anything else means its an alien.Even if the paths are correct use verify option in procexp to see if the publisher/signer is miicrosft or not.do this for every svchost.If it doesnt verify it is an alien. reply after trying thisfurther solution will depend on itVibhor Agarwal
