    Hi Dwarden, svchosts,exe in the system32 folder and is a system .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe 2nd Generic Host process used to load services that use DLL's.

    In processGuard svchosts should be set as follows:

    Protect from Modification and Termination
    Allow Modify & Read + Access to Physical memory.

    If you have Port Exploer you will see that there are usually several instances of SVCHOST's running.
