The conhost.exe process fixes a fundamental problem in the way previous versions of Windows handled console windows, which broke drag & drop in Vista.

It's a completely legitimate executable-as long as it's running from the system32 folder, and is signed by Microsoft. Scanning your computer for viruses is never a bad idea, though.
