Re: svchost.exe

If you select Properties and click on the Version tab, if the file's legit it'll have the value 'Microsoft Corporation' next to 'Company Name' and there'll be a copyright message. The file will identify itself as 'Generic Host Process for Win32 Services'. If there's nothing there and/or the file is anywhere else but the Windows\System32 folder, it's a worm.
