And you know that it is a trojan how?
What was the name of the trojan scanner or A/V program that informed you
this is a trojan?

In addition to the other posts I thought I would take a minute to make you
aware that svchost.exe is the name given by Windows for ANY generic DLL and
a single svchost.exe can actually have been called by any number of
different applications. If you happen to have a copy of Win2k handy take a
look at this link here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q250320/

That link will show you a bit about 'tlist.exe' and will go a long ways
towards demystifying the svchost.exe listings in your task manager. If you
don't have 2k kicking about the file might actually be in the XP resources
file. I've never actually looked. I'm also not sure about sharing methods so
I can't very well offer to upload it and share it with you as I've no clue
what the legalicy on that subject is. My philosophy is that if it doesn't
explicitely say I can do it than I assume that I can't.
