I believe we may be talking about svchost.exe here (Generic Host Process) - see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056 i.e. not spyware.
What we may be thinking of (and I do know what svchost is) and what the poster has stated in his post are two different things. Unless the OP comes back and comfirms if svc.exe is what is asking for permission or wether he has mistaken svchost for svc.exe we won't be sure
