In software Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) within modern versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.



At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services permits better control and easier debugging, but it also causes some difficulty for end users wishing to see the memory usage or vendor legitimacy of individual services and processes. End users in Windows XP Professional can run the following command at the system prompt to get a breakdown:

C:\>tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe"

Due to being widespread among running processes, svchost.exe has long been a common disguise used by malware to hide its presence from the user. (One of the common trojan horses deceptively uses scvhost.exe). Users may then run tasklist with no arguments and match the reported PIDs with the previously shown Svchost instances. If memory usage appears abnormal, the user can look up the service names shown by their command on the internet to see if it is a known service or malware.



The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. The main registry key involved at bootup is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost (values in this key will show the user at least a partial list of the actual processes behind instances of svchost).

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.



If you've deleted or terminated it, you will probably have to reinstall your operating system to get everything to work correctly.

Hey that's suppose to be run by Windows and that's a system process ofcourse you shouldn't touch anything that's run by Windows, when everybody knows Windows is a delicate OS.

It's mainly for process that run from DLLs(Dynamic Link Libraries).You should have freed up someothe way.

Okay there's no use cryin' over spilled milk. There's one way you can solve this go to the directory :

%SystemRoot%\System32

This will contain the svchost.exe reactivate it, incase you wanna try something else visit:

It's an essential part of windows. So many SVC host runs on your. But some mischief has been done by making a virus with the same name. In windows you will only be able to see in task manager & in procecess. If you get it any where other than this than it's a virus.

hit ctrl+alt+del. administration + alt + delete on an identical time. it will improve job supervisor. from right here click on methods tab. Then pass to record New job. whilst this opens up, sort in explorer.exe. this could restoration it with a bit of luck.
