Generic Host Process for Win32

Service Host – Generic Host Process for Win32 Services. Windows 2000/XP/2003 only.  SVCHOST is a generic process which acts as a host for processes that run from DLLs rather than EXEs.  At startup SVCHOST checks the Services portion of the Registry to construct a list of DLL-based services that it needs to load, and then loads them.  There can be many instances of SVCHOST running, as there will be one instance of SVCHOST for every DLL-based service or grouping of services (the grouping of services is determined by the programmers who wrote the services in question).  Under Windows XP Professional and Windows 2003 you can find out what DLL-based services SVCHOST is running by typing Tasklist /SVC at a Command/MS-DOS Prompt (this command is not available in Windows XP Home), while under Windows 2000 you need to use the TLIST –s command from a Command Prompt (MS-DOS Prompt).

Recommendation :
An integral part of the operating system, leave alone – multiple instances of SVCHOST is a normal occurrence.  If you experience SVCHOST errors, the problem is most likely not with SVCHOST but with the DLLs it is hosting.

Tak for det.

Jeg blev opmærksom på den generic-tingest, da jeg i mine firewall (ZoneAlarm) skulle give adgang (resp. nægte adgang) til, at programmer kunne agere som servere. Jeg prøvede først at nægte, men det gav en sløv internetforbindelse - og i nogle tilfælde død internetforbindelse. Så gav jeg den adgang, og alt kørte som smurt. Den er åbenbart nødvendig.

Ikke hos mig. Og hvis jeg giver det adgang til nettet, får jeg åbne porte.
Tjek lige "all service ports" her: http://grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

Jeg bruger norton internet security.
