    Svchost virus?

    Did your antivirus provider identify the malware? If so, did you seek their advice?

    You may want to send a copy of the file to VirusTotal for analysis. VirusTotal

    Recommend you scan with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit (a free program): How to find and clean malware infections with Emsisoft Emergency Kit | Emsisoft | Security Blog If
    necessary boot into Safe Mode/Safe Mode with Networking to download and run the scanner or use another computer, put the EEK file on a flash drive and insert the flash drive in the infected computer...you can run the scanner from the flash drive. Other scanners
    (some of which may be run in Safe Mode or from a flash drive) that may help with this issue are listed in List
    of Malware Removal Tools

    OR

    IF this is what you are seeing, suggest you follow ALL of the steps (until the issue is resolved) in

    Svchost virus?

    Did any Antivirus told you there is a malware with that name?

    Svchost or Service Host for Windows is a genuine process which as the name suggests is a process to run system tasks.
