I read in other posts here that Svchost.exe was a program needed to run windows, yet there is an other one that is a spyware of some sort? Im sure I have the spyware but nothing seems to remove it, TrendMicro housecall, spybot, spysweeper. I cant seem to remove it either by the registry or simply in the MsConfigs,it keeps running in the background anyone would know a thing or two?

Svchost.exe is a valid generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. On the other hand, Scvhost.exe is virus. i_XpUser

Alright thank you for that, but my spy sweeper detected a SVChost.exe and identifies it as an adware, is it worth to try to get rid of it or maybe just a false alarm?

The good guy is svchost.exe the scvhost.exe is a bad guy as stated at this link http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/scvhost/ Run these free online scans: Trend Micro Panda These take a little while to run but will be worth it. Be sure to set them to auto clean if asked and any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted write them down (there full path for example C:\WINDOWS\System32\svhost.exe) and post back if needed.

Be careful with svchost.exe. Its a system file but its exploited a lot with various parasites. There are very similar filenames related to parasites and they are not system files: scvhost.exe, svchosts.exe etc: take a look here: svchost.exe

ok well my mom had it on her computer and i havent restarted my computer yet, but what i did was go to start, search, and searched in my hard drive for SCVhost.exe and one file came up . i deleted it and so far my computer is back to normal. i havent restarted my computer so i dont know if this will work forever, but is definatly good for a little while. email if u have a Q. F3L1XX and his little bag of trixx...:)
