utility or something like that ???

Thanks

From Ramesh's web site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/svchost.htm
Also: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056

To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and the
'Show Lower Pane' options.
(This will provide some of the detailed info you may need)

Next expand the Process tree until 'Services.exe' has been expanded.
Next move the mouse cursor over the Svchost.exe process that you are
interested in. (You should now see a pop up with a list of services
associated with the Svchost.exe you selected)

Note: Some Svchost entries may need to be expanded to show the
detail (sub processes), in this case click on the + located to the left of
the entry. Explorer and System/Services also need to be expanded.

Next double click on the Svchost.exe process that you are interested in.
The 'Properties' Window should now be displayed with numerous tabs.
(Two important tabs to look at are: Services and Environment)

Searching for web based information about a process:
Mouse over the specific process that's you are interested in.
Next click on that process to highlight it,
Now that it's highlighted, right click and from the options listed select:
Search Online
This should display what out there on the web about that process.

As mentioned before: You can also double click on any process
to open up a more detailed 'Properties' window.
