Get hijackthis (www.merijn.org) install it do a scan and post the log.

Or get Spybot (www.spybot.info) and the detection updates. Install both then do a scan.

483480 2006-09-09 21:40:00 svcchost.exe is a trojan, but svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System.

Note the difference: the trojan has two "c's".

Be careful you don't get rid of the wrong one.
