Welcome to TechSpot. I'll try and help find the problem.

First, we can't 'screen' system for malware with HijackThis. And the version you used is outdated. I will have you run HJT toward the end, but I will give you a link to the current version> go ahead and uninstall HJT v2.0.2

Second, why do you think a Worm is responsible for these disconnects? What other problems are you having? svchost.exe is a legitimate process> I usually have 7-9 of these processes running in the Task Manager at any one time.

But malware can hide in the name so if if you would like us to check the system for malware, please follow the steps in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal thread HERE.
