Hey joey, the file which is deleted named svchost.exe is a system file. Go to run type "sfc /scannow" without quotes. Insert your xp cd without when prompted then this file will be copied to your windows/system32 folder.

malware can b named anything inclu svchost.exe ! whats imp is the location !
ur logfile shows that u have been infected with scvhost.exe !!! its located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\scvhost.exe and is also called SDBOT.N TROJAN. there r also some smtitfraud remnants.

download and use delete doctor to remove the first. then use SmitFraudFix. finally clean up ur residual pc junk with ccleaner.

in future u can always get ur logfile auto-analysed at www,hijackthis.de it givs a lot of info about ur pc state :)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe is the legit MS process

C:\WINDOWS\system32\scvhost.exe is the malware/trojaner
just to put u at ease check out at *www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/scvhost.exe.html or
*www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/scvhost/
u may also rt click on it to check its props.
go ahead and delete this file !
just make sure u r deleting this scvhost.exe !

if u r still feeling worried, get the file checked online with multiple scan engines at *www.virustotal.com/en/virustotalf.html and *virusscan.jotti.org/
u will c that it indeed is malware :)
