If svchost.exe is not running out of the windows.system32 folder, then
it could be malware that it is running. You should check what
svchost.exe is hosting by using Process Explorer. PE is free to use, and
you can use Bing or Google to find out how to use PE to look at a
running process, see what it is hosting and see what directory a
process/program is located when it is running.


Yes, I know about ProcExplorer, that is what I was using to report this
