But wouldn't it attempt to load the hosts file into memory at system start-up ?

It would load it into the DNS cache.

Have symptom. Find a bad thing. Not necessarily the bad thing.

Just for completeness, if you're wondering whether the svchost.exe you see listed in Task Manager is legit or not, you should download the excellent Process Explorer utility from Sysinternals. This gives a whole load more useful info than the Windows bog-standard Task Manager, including which services each instance of svchost.exe is managing. It's a really useful tool to have and it's free :)
