No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect but a good mixture of the two will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean.
First of all update and run your own anti virus & anti spyware applications.
Next download, update and run a full scan using the following product:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
SuperAntiSpyware will remove the majority of difficult Trojans not just the easy ones.
If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
In addition I suggest you download, update & run Avira. Unlike a lot of the free antivirus applications this will give you real time protection and is very quick to load at boot up.

Assuming you have some real awkward infections and the suggestions above failed to finally clean your system I suggest you download a Smitfraud removal program from:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop_software/desktop_security/smitfraudfix.cfm
Again if possible run in Safe Mode.
Be advised that some infections will corrupt or disable your resident security products so for completeness I have listed a few online scans that may help you:
Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/defau...
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/Ac...
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Good luck & safe surfing.

I had a virus on my pc recently. I tried scans etc. but was useless. I ended up having to re-format the damn thing. It caused many problems but the Trojan now has been eliminated.

Download the programs linked below. Install them. Update them. Scan your pc with them, and do so weekly.
If you have System Restore turned on, the Restore files may be infected, and trying to reinfect your pc. I turn off that feature, reboot to delete the files, then turn it on after a full system scan with AVG.
Turning off System Restore.
(right-click My Computer, Properties, System Restore tab, check the box to turn off System Restore on all drives.)
Restart your PC, and hold down the F8 key.
When you see the Boot Menu appear (black screen white letters), choose SAFE MODE.
Run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN with AVG.
You can heal or quarentine anything found.
You can also run Spybot and AdAware while in Safe Mode. I suggest you do a full system scan. Get rid of anything they find.
To exit Safe Mode, just restart your PC normally.
AVG Antivirus - Free Antivirus Software
(CNET: "AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the most popular free solution available at no cost to home users and provides the high level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers.")
Ad-Aware - Free Antispyware Software
(CNET: "One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-Aware 2007's excellent reputation is well-justified.")
Spybot Search&Destroy - Free Antispyware/Antitrojan Software
Some REALLY great features of Spybot Search&Destroy: Its ability to help your PC block known spyware/hijacker sites with Immunize feature, a Secure Shredder for truly removing files from your PC, and Startup, which allows you to view the files starting with Windows.
SuperAntiSpyware
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition is 100% Free and will detect and remove thousands of Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, KeyLoggers, Dialers, Hi-Jackers, and Worms. SUPERAntiSpyware features many unique and powerful technologies and removes spyware threats that other applications fail to remove.
Hope this helps.

I think you mean svchost.exe (service host) which is definitely not a virus but a legitimate part of the Windows operating system.
If you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete (Task Manager) you will find many instances of this process running.

TROJAN REMOVER from www.simplysup.com should do the job. It checks for rootkit and hidden files and also checks the host files. It's free for 30 days.
