Perhaps snooping through the processes that run in Windows you have noticed that there is one in particular that runs many times, we are talking about svchost.exeHave you ever wondered what its function is? And why is it executed insistently? Well, it really is a file or process of the operating system that is quite important, it is probably the most essential for it to function optimally because it consumes a lot of memory, let's see in detail.
Svkhost It is a Windows process, mainly of the XP / Vista versions that loads all services based on dynamic libraries, commonly known as DLLHowever, the answer to why it is executed many times is due to the fact that there are precisely enough system services that it loads, among them we have network services, multimedia and other applications.

Svchost, like the other processes, is found in the system folder, usually C: WINDOWSsystem32, a fact to take into account is that this process is used on several occasions by Spyware (Trojans) with variations of name, with the purpose of controlling the computer remotely to steal our information or damage files. Remember, the correct name is svchost.
