NOT Always. Many Keyloggers/Trojans try to immitate the svchost themselves.
To give you some orientation:
What I've marked:
1. This is usually started with windows.
2. This is extra-information on which you can identify the
ser

Host. As I highlighted, this is a SERVICE-process from windows. So it has to be found inside the
services.exe.
3. For more information you can look at the "Company Name" Tab or the "Path" (you can enable them manually). It's selfexplaining I think.
4. These 2 (and the explorer.exe) are also started from windows... and actually the last in the list (sort).
Any process AFTER them with a name like "csrrss.exe", "svchost.exe" or another version is obviously malware!
There also shouldn't be a "svchost.exe" here:
Look at the Tooltip for this example. This is the sidebar in Windows 7, but otherwise there shouldn't be stuff from Windows here, cuz it's lauchned from somewhere else.
After that you can try the stuff in the first post. If you can't kill them or delete them from autostart (it also starts after you've deleted it), run Windows in "save mode" and delete the file itself, after checking the its path.
@Zero (ero-Z is too time-wasting to type it all again ;P): You could add this to your 1. post, I'm too lazy atm.

No, try it like above and run in "Abgesicherter Modus".
