svrhost.exe

[Moses]

Hello, All!
I've found a strange process "svrhost.exe" running in my computer when
it startup. however, i know windows xp has a normal process named
"srchost.exe". the "svrhost.exe" is in the system32 folder, does it a
virus, a trojan horse or just another process which for windows xp use?

thanks

There is no SVRHOST.EXE in Windows, the file is actually SVCHOST.EXE.
I would end the process and find the file to rename it or move it to a
floppy disk. If the file belongs to a third-party application you will
run into problems with using this program and can then move the file
back.
