I would also add, there is a great tool to help uncover sneaky little trojan like conflicker. It is free, no cost at ALL. It doesn’t fix the problem it finds, it just lets you know there is one. It’s called svchost process anaylzer.

The svchost file is required to run these files as there is no executable. The .dlls called by the svchost executable could be for automatic updates or other legitimate programs, or they can be used to mask less benign programs. Usually you will have a good indication that the svchost.exe is masking a virus or some other major problem when it is using 50% or more of your computer’s resources.

Svchost.exe is a valid generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. On the other hand, Scvhost.exe is virus. Brad Callen´s last blog post..How I built a 55,000 person email list in 2 weeks via Twitter & how you can use the same concept to build YOUR list

his type of worm hides itself SCVHOST.EXE or SCVHOSTS.EXE so it will look like the legitimate Windows program SVCHOST.EXE. This type of virus usually spread through Yahoo Messenger. This virus is also known as W32/YahLover.Worm.gen and Win32/Autorun.R.worm. One way to avoid infection from this virus is to ignore any invites from unknown friends. This virus/worm installs itself in autorun.inf and once double click it will spread itself unto your system. Furthermore, it copies itself through all the shared folders on your computers throughout the network and installs itself in the registry entries remotely.
