strange svchost running 50% CPU in command window on logon



hi,
i have a windows server 2003 enterprise edition, running as a web +
file server.
when i logged on today, there was a command window that opened, titled
"svchost.exe", and it is still taking up around 50% CPU. there are no
start-up scripts, or entries in the RUN section of the windows
registry. all my virus defs are up to date. an output of the tasklist
is included below.
i checked the event log and a new event i hadn't seen before was
present:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: LsaSrv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6033
Date: 29/04/2005
Time: 19:30:49
User: N/A
Computer: bb
Description:
An anonymous session connected from USAGER-OYH88RV9 has attempted to
open an LSA policy handle on this machine. The attempt was rejected
with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED to prevent leaking security sensitive
information to the anonymous caller.
The application that made this attempt needs to be fixed. Please
contact the application vendor. As a temporary workaround, this
security measure can be disabled by setting the
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\TurnOffAnonymousBlock
DWORD value to 1.
This message will be logged at most once a day.

could this a hack attempt? i checked the svchost.exe file and it is
the original MS version so at least it hasn't been replaced with a
worm.

i'm a little concerned!! and really appreciate any tips someone might
have.
thanks
tim
