NOD32 for virus, TDS-3 or Trojan Hunter for trojans.

um , svchost.exe is a required element of your network protocol and is alway used while you are on line or connected to a network

im pretty sure it aint a virus at all

i usualy see like 4 of these in my process list and firewall

ah just had a look at symantec, and it could be one of about 70 trojans , do a virus scan
