SVCHost running incredibly high

I am running Win XP Pro.   Two days ago it just started running incredibly slow.   I checked Task Manager and an svchost.exe was running at over 400, 000 Kbs.   I have run everything I know, Combofix, Malwarebytes, TSSkiller, Rkill, Superantispyware all multiple times.   It took out malware and cookies, but not the culprit.   Any ideas on what to do?   When I boot up i watch taskmanager and watch this slowly rise until it takes all my resources and I can't do anything (even in Safe Mode).

I downloaded Process Explorer and I see the process.  When I put the cursor over it, I get a notepad type window telling me what it seeems it is used for.   It is much more than the other processes.   Is there some way to copy it and put heer on this thread?   What can I do with Proces explorer?
It is listed as Generic Host Processes for Win32 Services              Microsoft Corporation

Can I kill delete this?

I ended up re-installing the whole operating system.   Thanks for suggestions
