Uhhh, I remember "SCVHOST" Also known as "Freednshost", It lives in win32, You might wanna search your win32 folder, Look for the SCVHOST.exe, Get the created date. Rename the "SCVHOST.exe" to something else. More information IM at AIM, Tazz5406

ok well i went to house call and it didnt find anything, but when i went to my macafee, it found scvhost, plus this is one of my processes, it is very strange

SVCHOST.exe can also be a virus as per McAfee
Svchost.exe
A Description of Svchost.exe in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056If you go to this web page, you can find a list of all XP services and a description of them. In the table under process name you will find many that contain svchost.exe in that column, and a number that would access the internet. Just one example is the Automatic Updates service, which checks to see if there are any critical updates available for downloading:
