Well, i've updated it to v.4.8.1282 and did the scanning but still couldn't catch it... :(
(By the way, when doing the scanning should i stop connecting to the Internet?...)

svchost itself is not a virus and is a requited process of most Windows' OS. Please read the links below.

More info available from the below ScanDoo/google search results :

What is the OS of your computer?

How up to date is the OS?

Have all service packs (SP2, SP3, etc) been installed?
