I recently had a problem with this file and it was because I had the nachi worm [webmasterworld.com].

It was fairly easy to fix, check out this article on cnet for more info http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6600_7-5065742.html?tag=txt

Iirc svchost.exe is a generic internet access thingy - a lot of programs wanting to do stuff over tcp/ip can use that instead of other ways (I normally have about 6-7 of them in my task list)
