In case you haven't had any success removing it, have a look at this article:
How to EASILY remove the svchost.exe virus
Yup that's a method I tried but it kept coming back
Have you tried running TDSSKiller & what are the results?
On a clean PC, d/l Windows Defender Offline and run it. Be sure it's a clean PC you d/l & make it on, as a infected one will compromise the tool.
Windows Defender Offline
Does your AV list it as just "svchost.exe" virus or does it give any more details as to the virus name/variant? If so, please post this information, it will help us to find a fix.
I have used kesparskys antirootkit tool to get rid of it and my antivirus to clean it up thanks for all the help guys
It would be a good idea to keep a watchful eye on your system. Viruses like to invite other viruses in. The only way to be 100% sure your system is clean is doing a clean install.
It would be wise to run WDO just to be sure nothing else is lurking in the background.
