Svchost.exe or Scvhost.exe?

Malicious software such as spyware, adware, viruses, trojan horses and much more are software that have malicious purposes. Sometimes, they can disguise themselves to look like a legit processes.

For example, svchost. exe is a process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System and it's essential for this program to run and it should not be terminated. Scvhost.exe is another process that looks like svchost.exe but it does not belong to Microsoft Windows Operating System. It's a W32/Agobot-S virus process and it's a threat to your computer.

If you found this process in your computer, you should remove it immediately.

Therefore, if you found suspicious processes like this one, you need to scan your computer using spyware and virus scanner. I would also like to suggest you to install McAfee Site Advisor in order to protect you from visiting malicious websites in the future.
