Hey all,
    I've been wondering for a while what svchost.exe application on my
Windows XP is used for. I have to set a firewall rule for this application
everytime I format my computer, and I don't really know what I should allow
it to do.

The programs location is C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe. If I block this
program from accessing the Internet, it seems to stop Internet activity.

Thanks for any advice.
