Check your antivirus software is up-to-date and run a full system scan.
If you don't have any antivirus software go here (http://www.grisoft.com) and download the free version.

241179 2004-06-02 21:59:00 Codex, note the spelling, if the V and the C are reversed, then it is as Curly suggests. the Svchost is windows, Scvhost is a trojan.

Wouldn't hurt to do an update and scan anyway with your antivirus program.
Also use Spybot and Adaware programs to cleaqn out any spyware which has been known to cause Svchost problems.
