Just came across this old post...

It should be noted that svchost.exe (note the lowercase) is part of the windows OS.

I found out later that SVCHOST.EXE (uppercase) may be some kind of intrusion, be it viral or adware, etc, and you should take steps in correcting this.

I won't go into detail, but just do a search for this and you'll find more info.
