Hi Joel,
It is a important system file and runs various services and i advise you to
leave that file alone as it is. It didnt come from anywhere, it is a default
system file.

no it most certainly isnt

svchost is a system file and should be there

scvhost is most likely a trojan or virus masquerading as svchost

Hi,
Please excuse my mis-read. Yes most certainly "scvhost.exe" is a virus (i
had recently got it on my computer). On the other hand, "svchost.exe" is a
system file.
