    Taskhost.exe is gaining 50% of CPU usage

    Hi friends, all of a sudden my laptop fans start running loudly, which catch the attention of me to notice that Task Manager, unexpectedly taskhost.exe which is beneath the user name "LOCAL SERVICE" is captivating up incessantly 50% of my CPU power. This doesn't occur continually, just an unintentional irregular occasion. The share of 50% will then no fall down until I do a system restart. Obviously windows shouldn't be performing this. Can somebody give any help? I've also run a complete system virus scan and unable to detect any virus there. How can i permanently stop the process ? Will deleting this application make my computer unstable? I'm running Windows 7, 64bit.

    Have a closer View on CPU utilization and other performance information. Make use of the Performance tab from the Task Manager to view how your computer's CPU is being used by Windows and additional programs running onto your system. 1) You first open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and then clicking Start Task Manager. 2) In that select and click the Performance tab. The topmost two graphs display how greatly CPU is being used, together at the instant and for the past little minutes. If the CPU Usage History graph occurs split then your computer either has multiple CPUs, a single dual-core CPU, or both. A high or more percentage means that the programs or processes that are running need a many of the CPU resources, which can slow your computer. If the percentage becomes unmoving at or near 100%, then a program might not be responding.
