| Dilemma exe ?
svchost.exe is a bona fide file used by Microsoft,however it is also the identical file name for the nasty little W32_Welchia.worm which gives Windows LSASS Vulnerability.
Since this morning I have suddenly had something from the internet constantly trying to get through my firewall with this name which I have put a block on ?
A search finds the following in- C:WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe now is this a genuine file or the little nasty ? when I attempt to remove it,it just says cannot delete this file ? what do I do ??
Will a spyware tool find it ? and if so which is a reliable one to use please ?
I am baffled how there can be two different applications,one ok and the other sinister for the same file name ? surely Microsoft should do something drastic there.
PS-Just checked my firewall block on this and it says-C:WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe does not contain a virus and comes from Microsoft corporation,this contradicts what it says above,who do I believe and what exactly is the function of this file ?
