Hello,
I have a process called svchost, I am being told this is a virus, however my Avast is not recognizing it as such. Is it a virus? Any tips for removing it? I am using windows XP.

By whom are you being told?
What is the full path of the file?

I do not know the full path at this time. I am at work, last night I was trying to figure out why my computer is taking about 5 minutes to turn off and copied down the running processes. This one turned up suspicious. It is using 99% of cpu at multiple times.
edit: various spellings, I could be confused. I will check the path and the spelling. In other words I will get back with you tomorrow.

svc
host in the system32 folder is OK (in fact there's always running couple of those under WinXP - see the Task Manager).
scv
host isn't OK.
