This doesn't look good, looks like a virus or something, update your antivirus and do a full scan.

This is surely a virus, the real one is called svchost.exe and is located under C:\Windows\System32\. Check this out.

So, the problem is you have spyware and viruses, they are slowing your PC down and are a security threat. Update your antivirus and make a full virus scan. In your case, after removing the viruses, I'd format my hard disk and install a fresh copy of Windows XP.
You have to be more careful when you download and install programs from the net, don't install everything and never open executables attachments from e-mails.
To keep it smooth, don't put a lot of programs to run at Windows startup. I personally hate Norton, it takes a lot of resources. I don't use any antivirus and haven't been infected, you just need to know what not to open. Also, keep your Windows updated, activate autoupdates or visit Windows Update regularly.
Some programs I'd suggest:
Spybot - Search & destroy
SpywareBlaster
