Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

You should no what it is first, it's pretty much the .dll that are running, I think they are located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost I am not 100%, but you can check whats running by typing tasklist /SVC in command prompt.

To check what services are being run by SVC, open the command prompt. The command to look at running processes is 'tasklist'. Use it with the /svc extension 'tasklist /svc' to determine what's being ran under each SVC instance. I believe they are all services, so just check lists of services (Control Panel~>Administrative Tools~>Services) to verify that each one should be there. If you see something questionable, search it and see if it's legit. You should consider doing this before deleting SVCs' if you don't know what services they're running.

Also if you need to kill a process you can kill it from the task manager, or using 'taskkill' from the command prompt.

svchost is essential.

a simple google for svchost.exe found this page, second down.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056

"Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs)."
