One of the more annoying recent worms / viruses is evidenced by svchost pegging the CPU after a while (wasn't fully tested, I guess ;). Symantec will clean it so I haven't bothered to see if it really registers as a service, or is just reusing the name svchost. Anyway, I would recommend running a recently-updated AV after a safe boot if this just started (or got worse) recently.
