Comment:
I suspect that svhost.exe is for spying, that through this method is sent information of what Web sites are visited with the spied computer. I use Personal Sygate Firewall Pro, have blocked the application and I have not had problems at all. I have proven to allow svhost to connect to the network, and ater a few days, appear to me constant warnings of Sygate PF about that it blocked intruders from Web sites that collect IP addresses. Maybe I'm wrong, but hope that this information is useful. Let me know your thoughts. Best Regards, Gus. -
Just be a little careful that you don't delete svChost.exe which is an essential part of your system
Good luck
