The taskhost.exe is equally as a taskhostex.exe a Task Host which is a generic Host Process for Windows 7 32-bit Services (Host Process for Windows Tasks). This generic process acts as a host for processes that run from DLLs. At startup of the system the TASKHOST checks the number of Services in the Registry and builds a list of DLL-based services which should be loaded and then loads them. For each DLL-based service of group of services there should be one running instance of taskhost.exe.
