Install a firewall first of all (ie.

then make sure you have installed the patch from microsoft.

Don't forget to install the Microsoft patch for the problem, or your RPC will continue to be nuked

Also, check to make sure the file is svchost.exe, and not svcrhost.exe.
Thats a totally different virus, gaobot or something like that. I started getting hit with that last week and it releases your DHCP every minute or so and stops the RPC service. Remove it from the reg HKLM>LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT_VERSION>RUN. It also resides in the system32 folder.
