svchost?

Not really after help, sorry if this don't go here. Couldn't think of anywhere else to post it.

Anyway, what is err 'svchost' thingy? Is it good or bad? Should I be trying to remove it? Is it spyware, a virus, worm? All the rest of that. OR is it a microsoft thing?

It always seems to be present in task manager. Don't wanna do owt daft be closing it or whatever but I'm totally in the dark here.

So, ye, anyone got a clue about this?

i don't know..but i have it to 😕
plus my firewall is saying that this program is trying to access the internet from time to time, not allowing has no visible effect 😕

it's a system tool. it's supposed to be there

"svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System"

"svchost.exe is a process which is registered as the W32.Welchia.Worm. It takes advantage of the Windows LSASS vulnerability, which creates a buffer overflow and instigates your computer to shut down."
the second thing doesn't mean it is something bad? 😕

lol, I read that.. I came to the same conclusion as Clovie.. It don't really make sence, it's part of windows but a worm thing as well?

Just a tad confused. I'll leave them be anyway.

it's from windows, just don't touch it 🙂
