svchost.exe is a malware. it is not a normal process. it is also related to rvhost.exe. rvhost is a violent malware but easy to remove. svchost is a not so violent malware but is really hard to remove.

There is an easy way to delete the fake svchost.exe
it was stored on my computer on C:Users\Alda(my folder)\APPDATA\ROAMING\WINDIR\SVCHOST.EXE
it's not possible to delete it directly because it says that the service is running.
So I restarted the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
(This option is equal to the Safe Mode option, except that Cmd.exe starts instead of Windows Explorer)

Follow this steps:

c:\windows\system32\cd.. +enter
c:\windows\cd .. + enter
c:
c:cd Users\****\APPDATA\ROAMING\WINDIR + enter
(*this should be replaced by your userfolder ex. John, Mary, etc)

c:\Users\Alda\APPDATA\ROAMING\WINDIR\del SVCHOST.EXE + enter

The file was deleted!

To restart Windows:
c:\Users\Alda\APPDATA\ROAMING\WINDIR\cd.. + enter
c:\Users\Alda\APPDATA\ROAMING\cd .. + enter
c:\Users\Alda\APPDATA\cd.. + enter
c:\Users\Alda\cd ..+ enter
c:\Users\cd.. + enter
c: cd Windows + enter
c:\Windows\exit

Here you return to the screen of Windows in SafeMode
press Ctrl+Alt+Del
It appears a menu and a Red button with a Drop Down Menu next to it;
click on the drop down menu, then click on restart and "voila"
run the antispyware again, your computer is cleaned! :)
