Casually, one goes looking for the source. In this case Lockett. If you can not find the source and what it does, consider the system compromised.

Before nuking take a look at your startup ? Just a guess considering how far it makes it after boot.
msconfig and services.msc are your friends. Also get process hacker so you can see what is actually running under the guise of svchost.exe.

Assuming Lockett is malware. Sounds like it to me!
