Hi.

Scvhosh.exe in your comments section and scvhost.exe in your subject title do not match.

There is a Windows process called svchost.exe. This svchost.exe appears in several instances when you start Windows. In my pc, there are 4 svchost.exe processes. But both your subject title and the comments section indicate that this process is different from the Windows process.

Google for the word SCVHOSH.exe and SCVHOST.exe. They may belong to a program that you have incompletely removed from your PC and had its startup item still lingering and not finding its host program when you start Windows.

Or they may be mere virus or trojan programs.

Hope the above explanation is satisfactory.

Have a nice and virus-free new year.

Regards

suatcini

If what you see is truly scvhost.exe, look here for an explanation. Note that the above post pointed out the you have svchost.exe which is a legitimate windows process. scvhost.exe is not good news.
