I don't see anything bad in there either. But one thing you CAN do to check out what you feel may be too many svchost.exe files running is to find out what each of those is associated with. To have a lot running is really not unusual.
Checking in Task Manager in Vista is one way to find out exactly what is associated with each;
You can right-click on a particular svchost.exe process, and then choose the "Go to Service" option. This will flip over to the Services tab, where the services running under that svchost.exe process will be selected and than you can see the real name under the Description column, so you can choose to disable the service if you don't want it running.

Check out the iTunes.exe, big user, along with Firefox. I don't have an iPod but daughter and granddaughter's do. I have all the software installed for when they visit but leave it turned off unless they are here and using it. Makes a HUGE difference when it is turned on.
Turn off the iTunes.exe and iPod Service, see if it makes a difference. Know it did when I turned off mine.

Look at what gets installed and enabled in Services with an iPod;
Apple Mobile Device-AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
Bonjour Service-mDNSResponder.exe
iPod Service-iPodService.exe.
Use the HJT program to see a full listing of all processes running.
To access the process manager, you should click on the Config button and then click on the Misc Tools button. ou should now see a new screen with one of the buttons being Open Process Manager.
If you would like to see what DLLs are loaded in a selected process, you can put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Show DLLs, designated by the blue arrow in the figure above. This will split the process screen into two sections. The first section will list the processes like before, but now when you click on a particular process, the bottom section will list the DLLs loaded in that process.
