I've read a few of the replies, and I can only recommend that you install Ad Aware (from Lavasoft) and run a full scan. If possible, scan with Norton or Panda (which unfortunately isn't free). Also another advice, dump IE if you can and switch to Firefox. Looking at the topic title, I believe the author isn't acustomed to deleting malicious data through regestry editing, so I definetly recommend formating if what was already suggested doesn't work, and then on a new install use the recommended software.
Alas, Norton and AdAware aren't very good.

That's a description of SVC host. It isn't a virus, but it is an important exe file to keep running.
As for your other thing, just restart your computer it should be there then.

svchost.exe is irritating when it replicates itself
We spoke over MSN, so it's okay, thanks guys.
