The XP file named svchost.exe normally resides in Windows\System32 and
there is a backup copy in Windows\System32\dllcache.

It's likely that the 2 that you have (one in Windows and one in
Windows\System) are "pretenders" - virus files masquerading as system
files.

Your antivirus program identified several things by name. Have you been to
their website to look up each of those names? Suggest that you do so as
there are often additional cleaning steps that must be performed by the
user. Those steps will be outlined in the online documentation.
