It's a nasty virus, it messes with my task manager so I cant stop the svchost.exe process. When I try to delete it, it comes right back and immediately puts back on some other exe's. Anyone know how to delete this virus?

Are you sure that there is a virus? Svchost is a necessary process for Windows in order for it to run. It stands for service host and runs a whole slew of processes including security for the network and just about anything Windows needs to run.
If you want to see what is running under it, download Process Explorer and put the mouse over svchost.exe and it will tell you the processes running under that particular instance of it.
I would start in safe mode and run malwarebytes to clean up your system if you really think you have a virus. Then I would install avira as the running antivirus as it has a small footprint and gets the job done.

Ccleaner is the application I use to clean up my system when my pc slows down because of viruses, trojans or malwares. Free Download here: http://bit.ly/UrAoxn

Do what lutonic said to do. Have you tried going into system restore and seeing if you downloaded something that may have put it on your computer?
PS: what i seen was schost, not svchost. There's a big difference
