What is svchost.exe?
This morning when I opened up my Windows Task Manager, I noticed about 8 svchost.exe running in my background. I googled for it and already knew that not all svchost.exe are trojans. So how the heck can I know which one of 'em are trojans and how am I supposed to remove them?
svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System which handles processes executed from DLLs. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
