I'm not exactly sure what your problem is.  svchost is a vital system file that Windows needs to be able operate properly.  What makes you so sure this file is causing you problems?  Is it located in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 file?

Also...which version of Windows are you using?
And what protection do you have?

First, go ahead and download Flash Disinfector and run it in Safe Mode.  Make sure you plug in the infected flash drive before doing so.

You should then restart, scan with here and post the log here.
