it could be malware that it is running. You should check what

you can use Bing or Google to find out how to use PE to look at a
running process, see what it is hosting and see what directory a
process/program is located when it is running.


Yes, I know about ProcExplorer, that is what I was using to report
this
size.

But do you know how to use it to determine what svchost.exe is
hosting and what process in svchost.exe is sucking up the CPU?
Svchost.exe does nothing on its own. It only host processes.
