Hahahahahahaha... Ok sorry.. You can trust svchost.exe... for the most
part. To answer your question.. 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.
Check out the links below. If you ever have a question on a file, just
go to google and type in the name.. Liutilities usually will have an
alright description.
