Hello,
Thanks for your posting here.
Based on my knowledge, the svhost.exe file is not a Windows file. It is
probably virus.
Reference:

I would like to recommend that you install the latest upgrade of your virus
software and perform a thorough scan on your computer.
Have a nice day!
Regards,
Bob Qin

Hi
Can anyone tell me authoritatively if svhost.exe is a virus, or part
of the
updating mechanism for XP?
Thanks
