One "worm" can be Windows automatic updates, depending on your pc. Where is that svchost located?

it can also be caused by using custom hosts files if they are to large.

Startuplist
expand running processes > expand (the various) svchost entries to reveal the dlls actually being employed

this box has three svchost instances w\ 46, 76 and 77 dlls running respectively
while I have a high confidence they are all legitimate, thats not always the case

were I suspicious Id compare them to known clean security benchmarks
(which need to be updated as you add software and further dependent here on what is actually running)
