Please search your registry for this exact string. Copy and paste it to your search parameter.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svdhost.exe
If you have this, it is a Trojan Virus and you need to act quickly to remove it.
It's an oldie, so most good antivirus programs and anti-rootkits should save you.
Other forms of LP5 may be genuine and related to Zip file problems from genuine programs, and are simply corrupted, but somehow I doubt this is the case.
PS: you should also check for these variants of the virus: -
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Updates] svdhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Updates] svdhost.exe
ADDENDUM. A simpler search in XP would be to just type in: -
svdhost
Ensure you enable search for hidden and system items too.
deleting all svdhost related files may help too.
