Svchost is quite important ,have a look at it?
that's amazing , you answered my question before I asked it. Are you a psychic.
Reply:Welcome to XP. :)
Reply:That's nice. Did you have a question?
Reply:I dont fully understand your question. If you are wondering what svchost is, its a Windows Service that handles Automatic updates, Sound card, Wireless Internet, and other esstenial Windows Services. Do not stop or end this process.





In other cases, svchost can be mimicked and be a virus (probably not in this case). Make sure you have a virus scan, as some people try to make their file svchost.exe so that it looks like a windows service.
