Check for spyware. Run both Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Skybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) to remove any spyware. Run both as one may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download Defender to protect against future infections.

Yes, a lot or viruses and other things like that masquerade as svchost. It is treatable but you need to find out what is wrong and then look up that virus to check for removal instructions.
